CLASSMATES: 

Rollicking,  happy  years  these  have  been  to  us  of  '86,  these  four  since 
"as  Freshmen  first  we  came  to  Yale."  No  happier  than  the  years  enjoyed 
by  classes  gone  out  or  yet  to  follow,  perhaps  ;  it  would  be  selfish  to  wish 
them  so  ;  but  of  all  the  years  passed  by  all  the  classes  at  dear  old  Yale 
these  are  the  all  in  all  to  us.  Whether  we  came  to  college  with  the  inten- 
tion of  studying  or  the  intention  of  having  a  good  time,  there  is  no  reason  to 
doubt  and  everything  to  prove  that,  plans  or  no  plans,  all  have  studied  and 
all    have   had    a   good    time.     There   is   no  getting  through   Yale  without   both. 

Your  appointing  me  Class  Statistician,  I  have  construed  as  a  commission 
to  present  the  facts  of  our  course,  historical  and  statistical,  in  as  valuable  and 
readable  a  form  as  possible.  The  experience  of  former  Statisticians,  the  sug- 
gestions of  friends,  and  chiefly  my  own  taste  and  judgment  have  decided  the 
form  and  order  which  the  matter  has  taken,  and  I  must  take  the  responsibility  of 
it.  It  is  quite  probable  that  omissions  and  mistakes  have  been  made  ;  if  any, 
they  are  of  an  unimportant  nature  and  made,  the  compiler  being  ignorant.  The 
college  publications  of  the  past  four  years  and  the  answers  to  the  Statistician's 
questions  have  been  thoroughly  gleaned,  and  that  matter  worked  up  which  had 
a  value  in  itself,  which  the  class  would  be  proud  of,  or  which  would  arouse  hu- 
morous reminiscences  of  individuals  and  customs. 

The  advertising  department  of  the  book  has  been  conducted  by  Frank  E. 
Wing. 

Thanking  the  class  for  the  honor  of  the  appointment  given  me  and  for  the 
very  satisfactory  assistance  given  in  the  answers  to  the  numerous  statistical  ques- 
tions, I  present  the  result  of  my  efforts  to  you. 

Frederick  W.  Moore.

HISTORY   OF   THE   COURSE. 

As  an  event  marking  the  close  of  a  cycle  in  the  history  of  Yale 
College  there  stands  against  the  date  of  '36's  graduation  the  resig- 
nation of  President  Porter.  As  a  matter  of  fact  and  of  history  the 
event  deserves  notice  first  on  the  pages  of  this  book.  Of  his  per- 
sonal and  professional  qualities  others  will  speak  better  than  would 
be  possible  here,  and  more  suitably.  It  only  remains  to  notice  the 
growth  of  the  college  under  his  administration,  and  particularly 
during  the  last  four  years.  Durfee  and  Farnam  were  just  being 
finished  in  '71.  Since  have  been  built  West  Divinity  and  North 
Sheffield  Hall  in  '74,  Peabody  Museum  and  Battell  in  '76,  Win- 
chester Observatory  and  Sloane  Physical  Laboratory  in  '82,  Dwight 
Hall  and  Lawrance  in  '86.  The  Law  School  has  been  re-organized, 
and  the  Kent  Chemical  Laboratory  is  soon  to  be  erected.  Much 
money  by  gift  and  bequest  has  fallen  to  the  college,  and  many 
professors  have  been  added  to  the  corps  of  instructors.  A  number 
of  them  have  died,  among  them  Prof.  James  Hadley  ;  and  no  less 
than  four  have  been  made  presidents  of  other  colleges  :  President 
Carter  ('81),  of  Williams;  President  Gilman  ('72),  of  Johns  Hop- 
kins; President  Walker  ('81),  of  the  Massachusetts  Institute  of 
Technology  ;  and  President  Northrop  ('83),  of  the  University  of 
Minnesota. 

Though  the  criticism  doubtless  remains  that  the  new  buildings 
and  funds  have  not  kept  pace  with  the  demands  of  the  college, 
in  the  curriculum  changes  have  been  made  at  once  radical  and 
wise.  In  '76-7  the  first  option  in  studies  was  allowed.  In  '84, 
twelve-fifteenths  of  the  work  of  Senior  year  and  eight-fifteenths  of 
the  work  of  Junior  year  were  made  optional.  The  change  called 
down  criticism  both  from  those  who  thought  it  too  radical  and 
from  those  who  wanted  it  carried  further.  But  in  two  years  the 
2 


to  Vale  '86 

wisdom  and  judgment  of  its  originators  has  been  manifested  by 
experience;  and  its  most  fulsome  praise,  in  a  word,  is  the  belief 
of  those  who  have  enjoyed  it  that  now  it  is  good,  carried  fur- 
ther it  would  grow  weak. 

While  acting  as  president,  Dr.  Porter  has  continued  to  instruct 
his  classes  in  Mental  and  Moral  Science,  and  has  written  two 
books,  Elements  of  Moral  Science  (1885),  and  a  review  of  Kant's 
Kritique  of  Practical  Reason  (1886),  which  are  used  by  his  classes. 

In  the  fall  of  1885  he  gave  notice  that  he  should  resign  at  the 
May  meeting  of  the  corporation.  At  its  annual  meeting,  May  20, 
1886,  that  body  received  the  following  communication  from  him  : 

Yale  College,  May  20,  1886. 
Gentlemen  of  the  Corporation  : 

In  accordance  with  the  announcement  made  to  you  at  your  last  session,  I 
hereby  resign  the  office  of  President  of  Yale  College,  to  which  I  was  elected  some 
fifteen  years  ago.  I  resign  with  the  understanding  that  the  resignation  shall 
take  effect  at  the  inauguration  of  my  successor,  and  I  propose  to  retain  the 
Clark  Professorship  of  Moral  Philosophy  and  Metaphysics,  to  which  I  was 
elected  in  the  year  1846. 

My  reason  for  resigning  this  honorable  office  is  my  age,  which  must  necessarily 
soon  disqualify  me  for  the  satisfactory  discharge  of  some  of  the  duties,  if  it  does 
not  already — at  least  in  the  view  of  those  who  for  any  reason  are  disposed  tc 
judge  the  college  or  myself  unfavorably.  The  labors  and  cares  incident  to  the 
office  are  also  steadily  increasing.  I  think  I  can  measure  and  appreciate  their 
better  than  any  man  living,  and  I  cannot  expect  to  perform  them  with  comfort  01 
self-respect  under  any  added  disadvantage.  My  family  and  near  relatives  unani- 
mously and  urgently  approve  of  my  decision. 

I  can  say  very  sincerely  that  I  assumed  the  duties  and  honors  of  the  office  wit! 
no  special  elation  or  satisfaction,  but  rather  as  an  act  of  loyal  devotion  to  1113 
alma  mater  and  the  great  interests  and  the  solid  principles  for  which  Yale  College 
is  loved  and  honored  in  all  this  land.  These  interests  and  principles  I  have  en 
deavored  to  enforce  and  defend  within  and  without  her  walls,  in  no  uncertain  o; 
faltering  words.  The  duties  of  my  office,  various  and  incessant  as  they  have 
been,  I  have  sought  to  discharge  with  little  regard  to  my  convenience  or  healtr 
or  life,  and  in  so  doing  have  foregone  many  personal  interests  and  enjoyments 
I  desire  to  express  my  grateful  sense  of  the  value  of  the  sympathy  and  patience 
and  aid  which  I  have  received  daily  and  almost  hourly  from  your  Treasurer  anc 
Secretary. 

I  hardly  need  say  that  in  my  future  relations  to  the  institution  I  hope  to  serve 
it  in  the  same  loyal  spirit,  as  long  as  my  health  and  life  shall  be  spared. 

Noah  Porter. 

His  resignation  was  accepted  and  Prof.  Timothy  D wight,  tc 
whom  so  much  of  the  success  of  the  Theological  school  is  due,  wa3 
unanimously  elected  to  be  his  successor,  and  will  be  inducted  intc 
office  July  1,  the  day  following  Commencement. 


Class  Book.  ii 

Five  prominent  professors  have  died  during  our  course  :  Wil- 
liam A.  Norton,  M.A.,  Professor  of  Civil  Engineering  (September 
21,  1883);  S.  Wells  Williams,  LL.D.,  Professor  of  the  Chinese 
Language  and  Literature  (February  16,  1884)  ;  Lewis  R.  Packard, 
Hillhouse  'Professor  of  Greek  Language  and  Literature  (Octo- 
ber 26,  1884);  Benjamin  Silliman,  Professor  of  Chemistry  (Janu- 
ary 14,  1885);  Thomas  A.  Thacher,  Professor  of  the  Latin  Lang- 
uage and  Literature  (April  7,  1886).  In  the  death  of  each  of 
these  men  the  college  suffered  a  great  loss,  for  they  were  espe- 
cially eminent  in  their  chosen  departments.  Tutors  Cooper,  '72, 
Tighe,  '79,  Merrifield,  '77,  and  Hall,  '80,  have  left  and  Tutors 
Waters,  '78,  Reynolds,  '82,  Nichols,  '80,  Bridgeman,  '81,  Whit- 
ney, '82,  McLaughlin,  '83,  Abbott,  '82,  Price,  '83,  Seaver,  '80, 
and  Gruener,  '84,  have  been  added.  Wilcox,  '78,  has  come  and 
gone.  Mr.  Bendelari  has  been  made  assistant  professor  of  Mod- 
ern Languages.  Mr.  Hadley,  '76,  has  been  advanced  from  in- 
structor in  German  to  Professor  of  Political  Science.  Mr.  Ripley, 
'78,  came  as  tutor  of  German  in  1883  and  has  been  made  assistant 
professor.  F.  A.  Gooch  (Harvard),  is  Professor-elect  of  Chemistry, 
in  charge  of  the  construction  of  the  Kent  Chemical  Laboratory. 
Prof.  Terry  has  been  called  in  place  of  Prof.  Phelps,  who  is  ab- 
sent in  England. 

FRESHMAN    YEAR. 

Our  entrance  examinations  were  held  in  New  Haven,  Chicago, 
Cincinnati  and  Andover,  Thursday,  Friday  and  Saturday,  June  29, 
30  and  July  1,  '82.  On  the  28th,  Yale  defeated  Amherst  at  base 
ball,  21  to  8  ;  and  having  beaten  Princeton,  9  to  5,  the  day  before, 
in  a  game  which  was  to  decide  the  tie  for  the  championship  in  the 
probable  contingency  of  Yale  beating  Amherst,  the  blue  had  again 
won  at  base  ball.  On  Friday,  the  30th,  occurred  the  race  at  New 
London,  which  was  lost  to  Yale  by  three  seconds.  But  that  process 
of  evolution  by  which  one  hundred  and  sixty  odd  youth  gathered 
indiscriminately  from  all  parts  of  the  United  States  were  to  be 
amalgamated  into  the  class  of  '86  and  grow  to  be  Yale  students, 
was  begun  on  the  Grammar  School  lot,  Sept.  14,  1882.  It  was 
highly  successful  for  '86,  so  the  News  said,  as  they  won  both 
rushes,  two  falls  in  the  wrestling  out  of  three  and  the  fourth  a 
draw,  kept  the  sidewalk  and  sat  on  the  Freshman  fence,  "an  act  of 
unprecedented  buccal  development."     On  Friday,  the  16th,  at  4  in 


12  Yale  '86 

the  afternoon,  we  assembled  in  chapel,  and  were  assigned  our 
seats,  our  divisions  and  our  lessons.  Adler  and  Darling  went 
into  the  choir.  Clarke,  G.  Fellows,  F.  W.  Moore,  Scott  and  G. 
Smith  were  monitors.  The  next  morning  we  began  to  make  the 
acquaintance  of  our  instructors,  and  soon  spoke  of  them  familiarly 
as  "  Digamma,"  "  Dicky,"  "  Beebe,"  "  Qavaros"  and  "Tiggee." 

We  were  at  once  invited  to  join  the  Yacht  Club,  Dunham  Boat 
Club,  Hare  and  Hounds,  and  the  newly  formed  Canoe  Club.  We 
soon  had  representatives  in  all.  Before  the  end  of  the  year,  An- 
derson, Anthony  and  Appleton  were  on  committees  of  the  Yacht 
Club,  and  Merrill,  in  the  Ripple  (cat-boat),  won  the  spring  regatta  ; 
and  from  the  start,  Goodrich  and  S.  Phelps  comprised  the  execu- 
tive committee  of  the  Canoe  Club.  With  generosity  which  was 
customary  but  scarcely  appreciated,  the  Sophomores  helped  us  to 
elect  our  base  ball,  foot  ball  and  boat  club  officers.  They  were  : 
Base  ball — Bremner,  president ;  Goodlett,  secretary  and  treasurer  ; 
Stewart,  captain.  Football  —  Bremner,  president;  Kelley,  treas- 
urer ;  Goodlett,  captain.  Boat  club — Wilcox,  president  ;  Ransom, 
treasurer  ;  Appleton,  captain.  Before  the  end  of  the  year,  Bailey 
and  Cowles  succeeded  Wilcox  and  Ransom  respectively.  We 
played  four  games  of  base  ball,  and  lost  them  all.  The  closest 
was  the  short  game  umpired  by  Ike,  which  was  stopped  when  the 
Sophomores  had  made  two  runs  and  we  had  only  one,  but  were  in 
imminent  danger  of  making  another.  In  the  rush  which  followed, 
our  honors  were  well  sustained  by  Paul  Ames.  The  players  on 
the  ball  nine  were  :  Bremner,  c;  Odell,  p.;  Stewart,  i  b. ;  Peters, 
2  b.;  Carter,  s.  s.;  Young,  3  b.;  Corkery,  1.  f . ;  Brigham,  c.  f.;  and 
Wilcox,  r.  f.  The  fall  races  were  rowed  on  Lake  Saltonstall  for 
the  last  time  until  the  successful  return  to  the  lake  in  our  Senior 
year.  The  crew  which  won  the  race  from  the  ShefT.  Freshman 
against  whom  we  were  matched,  was  :  bow,  Sprague  ;  2,  E.  Phelps  ; 
3,  Taylor;  4,  Morley  ;  5,  Hyde  ;  6,  Cowles  ;  7,  Kellogg;  stroke,  Ap- 
pleton ;  cox.,  Goodwin.     Time,  6  m.,  50  sec;  distance,  1  mile. 

Meanwhile  the  foot  ball  men  were  practicing  on  Hamilton 
Park  for  the  game  with  the  Harvard  Freshmen,  Saturday,  Dec.  2. 
The  team  played  the  following  games  :  Oct.  28,  Yale  '86,  one  goal 
from  touchdown,  Andover,  one  goal  from  field  ;  Nov  4,  Yale  '86  vs. 
Williston,  score  2  goals  to  1  safety  ;  Nov.  11,  Yale  '&6  vs.  Wesleyan 
'85,  o  to  t  touchdown.  The  game  at  Cambridge  was  evenly  played 
and  resulted  in  a  tie,  one  goal  each.  Our  team  was  :  rushers,  A. 
Colgate,  Cowles,  Stewart,  Peters,  Kimball  ('85  S.),  E.  Phelps,  and 


Class  Book.  ij 

Goodlett  (captain)  ;  quarter  back,  Harding;  half  backs,  Young,  Brig- 
ham;  back,  E.  Lambert  ;  Lang,  '85  S.,  and  Odell,  substitutes.  The 
University  team  was  more  successful.  Princeton  beat  Columbia, 
Harvard  beat  Princeton,  and  Yale  beat  them  all,  the  total  score 
being  14  goals,  8  touchdowns,  to  one  goal  from  field  by  Princeton. 
The  team  consisted  of  :  rushers,  Hull,  '83,  Slocum,  '83,  Knapp,  L.  S.

Miscellaneous  events  of  the  fall  term  were  the  issue  of  the  Yale 
Songs  by  F.  B.  Kellogg,  '83,  and  Prof.  Shepard  ;  the  visit  of  Herbert 
Spencer,  Oct.  21  ;  the  Transit  of  Venus,  which  was  successfully 
observed  Dec.  6.  Beardsley,  Nason  and  Hall  were  appointed 
Freshman  editors  on  the  News,  Cotirant  and.  Record  respectively. 
Goodrich,  Peet  and  Reid  were  the  class  deacons.  Gamma  Nu  had 
the  following  officers  :  Day,  president ;  Shipman,  vice  president  ; 
Hyde,  secretary  ;  and  Brown,  treasurer.  The  class  showed  its  orig- 
inality by  petitioning  for  the  use  of  Linonia  for  a  debating  society 
which  held  meetings  through  the  year  ;  K.  M.  it  was  called.  The 
first  officers  of  it  were  :  P.  Ames,  president  ;  N.  Adams,  vice  pres- 
ident ;  Griggs,  secretary  ;  E.  L.  Smith,  treasurer  ;  Hellier,  Lewis 
and  N.  Adams,  executive  committee  ;  and  there  were  38  members. 

We  came  out  of  the  Christmas  semi-annuals  literally  curtailed, 
having  lost  the  trio,  "  Wotkyns,  Wyeth,  Young."  The  celebrated 
Indian  chief,  Red  Cloud,  visited  the  college,  the  guest  of  Prof. 
Marsh.  Prof.  Northrop  addressed  us  on  the  day  of  prayer  ;  and 
on  Feb.  17  and  18  the  Intercollegiate  Christian  Association  met  at 
Yale,  there  being  delegates  from  five  colleges.  The  promenade 
concert  of  the  Glee  Club  was  given  Jan.  29  ;  the  following  program 
was  rendered  : 

Part  I. — 1,  Come,  Rally  ;   2,  a  Polly  Wolly,  b  Drinking  Song*; 

3,  Rocked  in  the  Cradle  of  the  Deep*  (Woodward,  '83,  and  Club)  ;

j  4  Yale  '86 

We  had  fair  success  at  flag  raising.  A  little  one  staid  at  the 
peak  of  the  flag-pole  on  the  Insurance  Building  until  9:30  ;  but  the 
others,  two  cloth  and  two  iron,  succumbed  to  the  vigilance  of  the 
Sophomores.  Washington's  birthday  dawned  bright,  and  we  cele- 
brated with  our  bangers  to  such  an  extent  that  the  President  pre- 
pared a  lecture  specially  for  us. 

The  prize  speaking  at  Gamma  Nu  was  contested  by  Brown, 
Capron,  A.  Colgate,  Hyde,  Peet,  Shipman,  Stiles  and  Woollen. 
The  recitations  were  interspersed  with  music  by  the  quintet,  and  by 
the  Gamma  Nu  song,  words  and  music  by  Hard.  The  campaign 
committee  consisted  of  Bates,  Brown,  Churchill,  Crapo  and  Ship- 
man.  Griggs,  Bidwell,  Davis,  N.  Adams  and  Holcomb  were  rated 
among  the  ten  most  successful  Hare  and  Hounds  runners  of  the 
college,  and  Griggs  was  rewarded  by  an  office.  On  May  16  was 
held  the  first  regatta  on  the  harbor  ;  '86  contested  with  the  Juniors 
and  Sophomores.  It  was  sunset  before  the  water  was  in  condition 
to  start.  Our  crew  went  in  behind  Long  Wharf  first,  and  then  had 
to  wait  for  the  Northam  to  pass  before  it  could  row  to  the  finish. 
But  on  a  technicality  the  referee  decided  "  no  race,"  and  on  June  6 
we  raced  the  Juniors  and  defeated  them  —  a  great  victory,  and  we 
were  happy  !  Our  Freshman  nine  consisted  of  Bremner,  c. ;  Lang, 
'85  S.,  2  b.;  Brigham,  1.  f. ;  Dutcher,  3  b.;  Morley,  r.  f. ;  Corkery,  c.  f. ; 
Stewart,  1  b.;  Oliver,  '85  S.,  s.  s.;  Odell,  p.  Twelve  games  were 
played,  as  follows  :  Yale  '86  vs.  Consolidated,  April  14,  9-9 ;  Yale 
'86  vs.  H.  G.  S.,  April  18,  10-5  ;  Yale  '86  vs.  Consolidated,  April  21, 
4-10;  Yale  '86  vs.  Princeton  '86,  May  5,  6-1  ;  Yale  '86  vs.  Westfield 
Firemen,  May  9,  12-17  '■>  Yale  '86  vs.  Worcester  Tech.  Inst.,  May  12, 
14-2  ;  Yale  '86  vs.  Harvard  '86,  May  19,  8-1  ;  Yale  '86  vs.  Bridgeport, 
4-16  ;  Yale  '86  vs.  H.  G.  S.,  9-5  ;  Yale  '86  vs.  Monitors  (Waterbury), 
1 1-6;  Yale '86  vs.  Monitors,  12-0;  Yale  '86  vs.  Harvard  '86,  June 
9,  9-16;  Yale  '86  vs.  Harvard  '86,  June  22,  6-4.  These  games 
call  for  little  comment  here.  Harvard  '86  had  a  strong  nine.  Allen, 
c,  Nichols,  p.,  and  Smith,  1  b.,  played  the  same  positions  on  the 
University  team.  But  Odell  struck  out  15  of  them  in  the  "fence 
game,"  May  19,  and  we  won  by  a  handsome  score,  took  the  fence, 
produced  our  Glee  Club,  —  a  good  one,  too, —  1st  tenor,  Adler, 
Bates,  Darling,  Hall,  Stiles;  2d  tenor,  Beadle,  Cowles,  Judd,  '85  S., 
Odell;  1st  bass,  Adams,  Goodlett,  Leland,  Pierson,  Reid;  2d  bass, 
W.  Brandegee,  Kelley,  Schwab,  Carter  and  Hyde,  —  and  were 
photographed  by  Pach,  May  31.  June  19,  Petrikin  accepted  the 
fence  from  the  Sophomores  in  behalf  of  the  class;  and  on  the  22d, 


Class  Book.  Tr 

after  our  last  annual  was  over,  we  went  to  Springfield  to  play  the 
third  game  with  Harvard  '86  in  the  championship  series.  Suffice  it 
to  say,  we  came  back  singing, — 

"  Here's  to  'Eighty-six, 
Drink  her  down  ; 
For  we  beat  them  four  to  six, 

Drink  her  down,  drink  her  down  ;" 

and  marched  up  State  and  Chapel  streets,  making  all  the  noise  we 
could. 

The  University  nine  lost  only  one,  its  last,  game  with  Princeton. 
The  total  score  of  the  series  was,  Yale,  36  runs;  opponents,  15.  But 
again  the  crew  rowed  a  stern  chase.  Yale's  representatives  were— 
crew  :  bow,  Flanders,  '85  ;  2,  Parrott,  '83  ;  3,  Hull  (captain),  'S3  ;  4, 
Guernsey,  L.  S. ;  5,  Peters,  '86  ;  6,  Hyndman,  '84  ;  7,  Rogers,  '8^  ; 
stroke,  Folsom,  '8^  ;  cox.,  Tucker,  '83.  Ball  nine  :  Hubbard,  'S3  S., 
c.  (captain)  ;  Griggs,  '8^,  s.  s.;  Hopkins,  '84,  3  b.;  Childs,  '83,  1  b.; 
Terry,  '85,  2  b. ;  Jones,  '84,  and  S.  Booth,  '84,  p.;  Souther,  '84,  c.  f.; 
Tucker,  '84,  r.  f.;  Carpenter,  L.  S.,  1.  f. 

SOPHOMORE   YEAR. 

In  the  fall  of  Sophomore  year  we  defeated  the  Juniors  on  the 
harbor.  But  with  that  race  our  boating  supremacy  ceased  ;  we 
were  beaten  by  the  Freshmen  in  the  Spring.  The  '86  crew  in  the 
Fall  race  was :  bow,  Robbins  ;  2,  E.  Phelps  ;  3,  P.  Ames  ;  4,  A. 
Colgate  ;  5,  Stewart  ;  6,  Cowles  (Capt.)  ;  7,  Cooley  ;  stroke,  Ap- 
pleton ;  cox.,  Goodwin.  In  the  spring  Morley  rowed  in  place  of 
Stewart  and  E.  Phelps  was  captain,  as  Cowles  was  training  with 
the  University. 

In  base  ball  we  tied  '84  and  '85  for  the  Class  Championship. 

The  foot  ball  team  for  the  Fall  of  '83  was :  rushers,  Tompkins, 
'84  (captain),  Hull,  L.  S.,  Hyndman,  '84,  Bertron,  '85,  Peters,  '86, 
Knapp,  L.  S.,  Farwell,  '84;  quarter-back,  Twombly,  '84;  half- 
hack,  Richards,  '85,  Terry.  '85  ;  back,  Bacon,  T.  S.  Cowles,  '86, 
was  a  substitute.  The  score  by  the  new  rules  was  reckoned  by 
points  and  is,  Yale  122,  opponents  (Harvard)  2. 

Hamilton's  growing  reputation  on  the  bicycle  and  Knapp's  skill 
with  the  racket  were  our  chief  athletic  boasts.  Shipman,  how- 
ever, won  the  class  tennis  championship  with  Knapp  second,  but 
later  Knapp  won  the  College  championship  from  Thome,  '85  S. 


16  Yale  '86 

During  the  year  Lord  Coleridge  and  Matthew  Arnold  both  paid 
visits  to  the  college.  During  the  Christmas  vacation  the  Cabinet 
building  was  injured  by  fire  ;  and  the  Glee  Club  on  its  western 
trip  met  with  an  accident  near  Louisville,  which  resulted  in  long 
illness  to  Strong,  '85,  and  compelled  Crehore  to  remain  out  of  col- 
lege a  year.  The  class  held  a  number  of  very  enjoyable  germans 
during  the  year,  led  by  E.  J.  Phelps,  S.  Phelps,  E.  Lambert,  Brown, 
Ludington,  F.  J.  Winston,  Leland,  Hall,  Stewart,  Knapp  and  Cooley. 

This  year  witnessed  the  organization  of  the  second  Glee  Club 
under  the  direction  of  F.  B.  Kellogg,  '83  ;  the  introduction  of  the 
popular  course  of  lectures  by  Mr.  Tighe,  which  have  since  been 
continued  as  the  Phi  Beta  Kappa  course,  and  the  revival  of  that 
society  by  '84  ;  the  starting  of  a  comic  paper,  Quip;  the  navy  ben- 
efit, consisting  of  a  minstrel  entertainment  and  a  burlesque,  "  The 
Baker's  Daughter,"  given  by  the  Glee  Club,  assisted  by  other  stu- 
dents ;  the  organization  of  State  clubs  ;  the  trip  of  the  American 
Lacrosse  Team,  on  which  Cottle,  '84,  played,  to  England. 

In  the  spring,  the  nine  tied  with  Harvard  for  the  championship, 
and  played  off  the  tie  successfully  in  Brooklyn,  June  27,  Odell 
pitching  ;  score,  4  to  2.  The  nine  consisted  of,  Hopkins,  '84  (cap- 
tain), 3  b.;  Terry,  '85,  2  b.;  Souther,  '84,  c. ;  McKee,  '84,  r.  f.;  Brig- 
ham,  '86,  1.  f.;  Oliver,  '85  S.,  s.  s.;  Booth,  '84,  p.;  Stewart,  '86,  1  b. ; 
Bremner,  '86,  c.  f. ;  Odell,  '86,  p.  The  famous  '84  crew  consisted 
of,  bow,  Storrs,  '85  ;  2,  Hobbs,  '85  ;  3,  Patten,  '86  S.;  4,  Cowles,  '86  ; 
5,  Peters,  '86  ;  6,  Parrott,  L.  S. ;  7,  Scott,  '84  ;  stroke,  Flanders,  '85 
(captain)  ;  cox.,  Cadwell,  '86  S.  The  winning  time  was  20  m. 
31  sec. 

JUNIOR   YEAR. 

With  our  return  in  the  fall  of  Junior  year,  a  new  line  of  duties 
and  ambitions  opened  before  us.  Junior  promenade,  Junior  ap- 
pointments, Junior  exhibition,  Lit.  election,  the  appointment  of 
the  Senior  boards  of  editors  to  the  other  papers,  and  the  elections 
of  officers  for  the  various  athletic  associations,  would  follow  in 
close  succession,  and  make  the  year  one  of  constant  ambition  to 
do  our  best. 

On  September  27  our  promenade  committee  was  elected.  The 
gentlemen  were  :  Darling,  chairman  ;  Lambert,  floor  manager  ; 
Arkell,  A.  Colgate,  Cooley,  Cowles,  Day,  Knapp,  S.  Phelps  and 
Shipman.     Shipman   resigned.      The   promenade   was   given   with 


Class  Book.  jy 

more  than  usual  success,  Feb.  10.  The  weather  was  wintry  and 
crisp  through  it  all— Glee  Club  concert,  promenade  and  germans. 
It  was  a  happy  time  for  us  and  our  guests.  The  promenade  was 
voted  the  best  ever  held,  for  many  improvements  had  been  made 
upon  the  plans  of  former  committees,  though  the  supper  arrange- 
ments were  still  left  for  future  committees  to  improve. 

Meanwhile  Junior  appointments  had  been  given  out — 84  of 
them  ;  other  classes  had  had  more,  but  thus  the  faculty  decreed, 
and  we  could  only  submit. 

Philosophical  Orations.  —  Brown,  Dickey,  Dutcher,  Eliot,  Lewis, 

F.  G.  Moore,  Parks,  Pierson,  Reid. — 9. 

High  Orations.  —  Buck,  Corkery,  Davis,  Goebel,  Goodrich,  Jag- 
gard,  C.  Moore,  A.  Phelps,  Schwab.  —  9. 

Orations.  —  N.  Adams,  W.  Adams,  H.  Ames,  Beadle,  A.  Fellows, 

G.  Fellows,  Griffith,  Hard,  F.  W.  Moore,  Scott,  Shipman,  Stiles, 
Whitmore,  Woollen. —  14. 

Dissertations.  —  Bidwell,  Capron,  Cannon,  Clarke,  Connor, 
Crapo,  Edgar,  D.  Lambert,  D.  Moore,  Nichols,  Painter,  Peters, 
Sewall,  G.  Smith,  Stebbins,  Waterman.  —  16. 

First  Disputes.  —  Adler,  Bates,  Bishop,  E.  Brandegee,  Knapp, 
McElroy,  Nason,  Washington,  Wing,  F.  Winston.  —  10.

Smith. —  5. 

First  Colloquy.  —  P.  Ames,  W.  Brandegee,  Cooley,  Day,  Hord, 
Hungerford,  Mosle,  E.  Phelps,  F.  R.  Smith,  Tyler.  —  10.

Goodwin,  Griggs,  Lee,  Ryce,  E.  C.  Smith,  Stewart.—  11.     84. 

Of  these,  the  first  18  philosophical  and  high  oration  men  were 
initiated  into  #.  B.  K.,  and  later  elected  these  officers  :  chairman, 
Dutcher  ;  secretary,  Buck  ;  treasurer,  C.  Moore  ;  executive  com- 
mittee, Goodrich  and  Pierson. 

Only  nine  of  the  class  had  contributed  to  the  Lit:  E.  Phelps, 
Lewis,  Woollen,  Pierson,  Shipman,  Brown,  S.  Phelps,  Waterman 
and  Wing  ;  but  the  last  three  were  not  candidates  for  an  editor- 
ship. The  election  was  held  January  14,  in  176  Lyceum,  and  the 
election  of  the  first  five  in  order  was  confirmed  by  the  '85  board. 
At  a  subsequent  meeting  the  Board  was  organized  as  follows  :  h. 
Phelps  (chairman),  Notabilia;  Lewis,  Portfolio  ;  Woollen  (financial 
manager),  Memorabilia  Yalensia  ;  Shipman,  Book  Notices  ;  Pier- 
son, Editor's  Table. 

The  other  papers  soon  appointed  their  incoming  boards,  and 

3 


i8  Yale  '86 

by  the  first  of  April  they  were  all  fairly  installed  and  the  '85  boards 
had  retired.  Beardsley,  who  had  been  an  editor  on  the  News  since 
early  Freshman  year,  resigned.  The  new  board  consisted  of  Crapo 
(chairman),  Griggs,  F.  W.  Moore,  Mosle,  Peet  (financial  editor), 
and  Peters.  The  new  Cow-ant  board  was  Anderson,  Nason,  Schwab 
and  Wing  (chairman).  The  Record  appointed  Bidwell,  Eliot,  S. 
Phelps  (chairman),  Waterman  and  Anthony  (financial  editor). 

Officers  to  the  various  athletic  associations  from  '86  were — Uni- 
versity Tennis  Club  :  Knapp,  president.  University  Boat  Club  : 
P.  Ames,  president  ;  Cooley,  student  member  of  auditing  com- 
mittee ;  Cowles,  captain.  University  Foot  Ball  Association  :  Good- 
lett,  president  ;  Peters,  captain.  University  Base  Ball  Club:  Sewall, 
president  ;  C.  H.  Matthews,  treasurer ;  Stewart,  captain.  Upon 
these  officers,  in  the  face  of  defeats  in  base  ball  and  rowing,  and  a 
technical  defeat  in  foot  ball,  devolved  the  responsibility  of  conduct- 
ing the  athletics  of  '86's  Senior  year.  Other  elections  were — Class 
Historians  :  Anderson,  Bates,  Nason,  Vernon,  Wing  ;  Vernon  has 
resigned,  and  Schwab  will  fill  his  place.  Picture  Committee  :  A. 
Fellows,  F.  W.  Moore,  G.  Smith. 

Miscellaneous  incidents  were  :  the  lecture  by  Edmund  Gosse, 
Jan.  24  ;  the  death  of  Osborne  Allston  ;  the  political  campaign 
of  the  fall,  and  Chauncey  M.  Depew's  speech  ;  the  inter-class 
championship  in  base  ball,  won  by  '86  in  the  fall  ;  the  intro- 
duction of  semi-annual  examinations  ;  Moody's  visit,  May  3  ;  the 
appointment  of  Prof.  Phelps  as  Minister  to  the  Court  of  St.  James; 
foundation  of  the  Co-operative  society  ;  the  gift  of  the  Cleveland 
Alumni  Association  cup,  and  the  opening  of  the  Yale  Field  for 
constant  use  for  track  athletics,  foot  ball,  base  ball  and  tennis. 

The  nine  was  :  Terry,  '85  (Capt.),  2  b. ;  Marsh,  '86  S.,  c.  f.;  Stagg, 
'88,  3  b.  ;  Bremner,  '86,  c.  ;  Merrill,  '85  r.  f.  ;  Stewart,  '86  1  b. ; 
Hickox,  '86  S.,  s.  s.;  Sheppard,  '87,  1.  f. ;  Willett,  '88,  p.;  Odell,  '86,

SENIOR    YEAR. 

With  the  fall  of  '85  we  came  back  to  Yale  from  the  several  ways 
of  our  vacation,  realizing  at  last  that  the  reputed  dignity  of  Senior 
vear  was  not  a  myth,  but  a  fact,  a  growth,  and  that  upon  us  in  a 
great  measure  lay  the  responsibility  for  the  success  of  Yale,  both 
in  athletics  and  studies,  and  in  particular  the  honor  of  our  class. 
First  in  order  of  mention  was  the  enthusiastic  regatta  again  held 
on  Lake  Saltonstall.  The  only  race  in  which  '86  men  were  entered 
was  the  Cleveland  Cup  race,  one  and  one-half  miles  with  turn,  won 
by  Appleton,  '86,  in  11  m.  47  sec;  Bolton,  '86  S.,  second;  Cooley, 
'86,  third  ;  and  Hellier,  '86,  fourth.  Again  in  the  spring  the  races 
were  successfully  held  at  the  lake  ;  four  eight-oared  crews,  includ- 
ing the  university,  finished  the  two-mile  race  within  9  seconds  of 
each  other,  '87  leading  in  11  m.  34  sec.  Hellier  won  the  college 
single  scull  championship  ;  Cooley,  second  ;  Day,  third. 

The  Intercollegiate  Tennis  Tournament  on  the  courts  of  the 
New  Haven  Lawn  Club  were  successfully  held,  considered  both  as 
to  the  quality  of  the  playing  and  as  to  Yale's  final  triumph.  Knapp 
and  Shipman  won  the  doubles  and  Knapp  the  singles,  against 
Chase  and  Pratt  of  Amherst,  Brinley  and  Paddock  of  Trinity,  and 
Duryea  of  Williams.     Eight  colleges  sent  representatives. 

Foot  ball  under  the  captain  from  '86  already  has  a  wide  reputa- 
tion from  its  misfortune.  Graduates  and  undergraduates  alike 
praise  Captain  Peters,  and  are  proud  of  the  foot  ball  team  he  de- 
veloped out  of  raw  material.  But  Lamar's  lucky  opportunity  and 
fleet  running,  or  "  How  we  lost  the  game  to  Princeton,"  will  remain 
a  fireside  story  in  the  annals  of  Yale's  athletics.  The  eleven  con- 
sisted of  :  rushers,  Peters,  '86  (captain),  Woodruff,  '87,  Lux,  '88,  Car- 
ter, '88  S.,  Hamlin,  '87  S.,  Wallace,  '88,  Corwin,  '87  ;  quarter  back, 
Beecher,  '88;  half  backs,  Watkinson,  '89,  Bull,  '88  S. ;  back,  Burke, 
'87.  Score  with  Princeton,  one  goal  from  field  to  one  goal  from 
touchdown,  5  points  to  6. 

The  Glee  Club  under  W.  Brandegee  achieved  success  greater 
than  that  of  any  previous  club  during  our  college  course.  The

successful.  First,  the  Lit.  has  improved  in  the  style  of  topics 
treated  and  the  general  readableness  of  the  leaders  and  Notabilia,

developed  "  Owlisms,"  a  very  pretty  department,  and  prepared  the

BIRTH,  FAMILY  AND  ANCESTRY. 

Through  fathers  who  are  honorable  men,  and  grandfathers, 
some  of  whom  were  famous  men,  we  trace  our  ancestry  back  to 
princes  and  rulers,  to  those  who  in  "  remarkably  early  times  ex- 
changed prosy  arboreal  existence  for  luxurious  life  in  caves,"  "to 
Noah  the  shipbuilder  "  and  "  Adam  the  farmer,"  to  "  the  dust  of 
the  ground  (Gen.  ii.  7),"  and  "the  old  original  and  only  proto- 
plasmic unit."  But  in  more  modern  times,  heraldry,  with  its  signs 
and  mysteries,  and  the  chroniclers,  who  dealt  in  dark  allusions 
and  meager  details,  indicate  that  many  of  us,  of  a  truth,  are  illus- 
triously descended.  Foreign  blood,  however,  is  not  our  only  nor 
our  dearest  boast  ;  we  are  Americans  and  Yalensians,  the  descend- 
ants of  colonial  and  national  heroes  and  of  college  and  civil  wor- 
thies.

uates, and  five  cousins  have  been  through  Yale  recently."

There  is  an  old  ditty  : 

"Little  head,  little  wit  ; 
Great  head  and  not  a  bit." 

The  application  of  it  does  not  seem  very  apparent,  but  it  is  meant 
for  an  allusion  of  the  "heads  I  win,  tails  you  lose"  genus,  to  the 
size  of  your  chum's  hat,  and  so  it  is  given  here.  The  average 
size  is  7T^.  Appleton  (6§)  and  Hungerford  (6f)  wear  the  smallest. 
Painter  (8 J)  and  W.  L.  Kingsley,  Lewis  and  Morgan  (7$)  wear  the 
largest.     Thirty-nine  wear  a  7,  and  22  a  6f . 

The  average  size  of  collar  is  15.  Thirty-seven  wear  a  14I,  41a 
15,  and  33  a  15^.  Bishop,  Graves,  Hamilton,  McElroy,  F.  G. 
Moore,  Nason  and  Parks  wear  a  14,  and  H.  Ames,  Cowles  and 
Peters  a  16^. 

Leavitt  wears  a  4^  shoe,  Anthony  a  5,  D.  Moore,  G.  Fellows, 
H.  Ames  and  Appleton  wear  a  10,  and  Cowles  an  11  shoe.  The 
most  common  size  is  7,  which  24  use  ;  and  21  use  an  8.

Ailing,  Davis  and  Clarke  studied  partly  by  themselves  ;  Wash- 
ington studied  some  with  his  father  ;  Painter  fitted  entirely  alone 
in  eight  months  at  home  ;  G.  L.  and  W.  L.  Kingsley,  Knapp,  Lee,

and  Matthews  fitted  with  a  tutor  for  a  year  or  more  before  com- 
ing;  H.  S.  Ames  studied  at  Hanover,  Germany  ;  Paris,  France; 
Lausanne,  Switzerland  ;  Smith  Academy,  St.  Louis,  and  with  a 
tutor  ;  and  Wing  fitted  at  Smith  Academy,  Hatfield,  Mass.  (branch 
office  of  Smith  College).  The  others  fitted  singly  at  local  sem- 
inaries and  high  schools. 

Not  less  than  fifty  distinct  and  definite  reasons  are  given  for 
coming  to  college,  and  for  preferring  Yale  to  other  institutions. 
Some  are  worth  mentioning  for  their  general  application  ;  others 
for  the  serious  thought  they  contain  ;  and  others  for  their  epigram- 
matic turn.  Family  influence  determined  twenty  or  thirty  ;  sev- 
eral were  "brought  up  on  Yale  in  connection  with  the  bottle;" 
"  Yale  was  the  first  word  I  was  taught  to  utter;"  "  didn't  come  : 
was  sent  ;"  "  to  keep  up  the  family  succession."  Yale's  athletic 
reputation  attracted  three.  Her  popularity  in  certain  sections, 
and  the  reputation  and  influence  of  her  alumni,  led  a  dozen  more 
to  cut  the  "proper  caper."  "  Chicago  is  strong  for  Yale  ;"  "the 
institution  most  thought  of  in  the  west ;"  "  the  large  number  of 
prominent  graduates  living  in  my  neighborhood,"  and  "the  manly 
character  of  the  graduates  I  knew  ;"  "  attraction  of  gravitation  and 
education  ;"  "natural  consequences  of  environment."  Ten  vote  it 
the  "best,"  as  many  more  "the  largest,"  "nearest,"  "most  demo- 
cratic," "most  thoroughly  American,"  "solid  and  conservative." 
Its  "system,"  "discipline  and  incentives  to  moral  life,"  "social 
and  educational  advantages,"  "good  fellowship,"  "the  cheer," 
offered  attractions  to  some.  "  Father  wanted  me  to  go  to  Har- 
vard ;  mother,  to  Princeton  ;  I  wanted  to  go  to  Columbia  ;  so 
we  compromised  on  Yale."  "  Matter  of  expediency;  should  have 
preferred  Harvard."  "  Because  my  friends  praised  Princeton  ad 
nauseam,  and  I  saw  enough  of  Harvard  at  Exeter.  Besides,  I 
determined  in  childhood  to  go  to  Yale,  because  its  name  was  so 
unique."  "  I  came  to  Yale  because  I  believed  that  the  best  educa- 
could  be  secured  there,  not  in  books,  but  in  men."     But  one  of

our  number  was  riot  allowed  the  privilege  of  a  choice.  A  docu- 
ment which  was  properly  probated  in  the  town  of  East  Haddam, 
and  which  a  lawyer  had  sworn  faithfully  to  execute,  willed  and 
bequeathed  "  that  my  son  William  Ebenezer  shall  be  educated 
at  Yale,"  faculty  to  the  contrary  notwithstanding. 

Fifteen  came  to  college  solely  for  an  education  "  and  an  A.  B.;" 
4  came  "  to  have  a  good  time,"  "  to  study  and  enjoy  four  years," 
"  to  meet  '  Balls  '  and  study  Logic  ;"  8  came  to  lay  the  foundation 
for  a  profession.  "  To  lay  up  capital  for  future  investment;"  "  to 
seek  the  highest  good  ;"  "to  get  a  start  in  the  pursuit  of  knowl- 
edge ;"  "  to  get  culture  of  the  soul;"  "to  be  able  to  work  on  a 
higher  plane  than  otherwise  ;"  "  to  learn  to  read,  write  and  cipher  ;" 
"to  get  book  learning  and  grow  bald,"  have  been  to  various  ones 
of  us  the  objects  of  our  ambition  and  the  sources  of  our  inspiration. 
"  Fondness  for  study  in  general  and  of  the  classics  in  particular," 
brought  one.  "  I  believe  that  a  college  education,  together  with  its 
associations,  will  contribute  to  my  enjoyment  and  give  me  greater 
influence  among  men,"  one  says.  And  the  remark  of  another  in  the 
same  line  :  "  I  now  believe  in  a  college  education  for  all,  because 
1  it  is  likely  to  add  enormously  to  the  finer  pleasures  of  a  prosper- 
ous career.'  The  mere  utilitarian  view  of  education  is  the  weakest 
argument  in  its  favor,"  should  not  be  scorned  for  its  aestheticism. 

Eighty-six  of  the  class  were  examined  in  Alumni  Hall  in  '82, 
4  in  '84,  5  in  '83,  4  in  '81,  2  in  '80,  and  1  in  '79  ;  10  were  examined 
in  Chicago  in  '82  and  1  in  '81,  9  in  Andover,  and  5  in  Cincinnati. 
Brown  took  a  special  examination  in  May,  '81  ;  F.  Winston  in 
April,  '82.  The  Kingsleys  were  examined  in  "June,  '82,  in  Alumni  ; 
passed  work  of  Freshman  year  in  June,  '83,  at  Alumni ;  passed  work 
of  Sophomore  year  in  September,  '84,  at  Alumni,  and  entered  the 
class  as  Juniors." 

Crawford,  C.  A.  and  F.  G.  Moore  (Marietta  College,  O.),  A.  S. 
Phelps  (Brown),  Rollins  ('85),  joined  us  during  Sophomore  year. 

Ailing  (formerly  '84),  Brooks  ('85),  Catherwood  ('85),  Crehore 
('85),  Hunt  (Olivet  College,  Mich.),  G.  L.  and  W.  L.  Kingsley, 
Mathews  ('85),  Nichols  ('84),  Stearns  (Wooster  College,  O.),  and 
Vernon  ('85),  joined  during  the  Junior  year. 

Beers  ('87),  Christian  ('85),  Colgate  ('85),  Knight  (Amherst),  and 
Sherman,  pursued  Senior  year  with  us. 

Knight  left  Amherst  on  account  of  sickness.  The  others  who 
changed  colleges,  did  so  for  family  reasons,  and  the  attractions  of 
a  larger  institution  and  eastern  methods. 


4.8  Yale  y  86 

In  the  spring  of  1863,  Sherman  entered  the  last  term  of  Junior 
year  of  the  class  of  '64,  upon  examination  with  one  condition, 
natural  philosophy  ;  remained  but  one  term,  and  became  superin- 
tendent of  public  schools  at  La  Porte,  Ind.,  the  next  year.  He 
returned  in  the  fall  of  1864,  and  joined  the  class  of  '65,  and  left 
again  from  sickness  during  the  first  term.  He  was  a  student  at 
Hillsdale  College  in  '58— '59,  and  received  a  diploma  from  that 
institution  while  at  Yale  in  1863.  Beers  was  examined  at  Andover 
in  '83,  recited  with  '87  during  their  Sophomore  year,  and  entered 
'86  at  the  beginning  of  their  Senior  year.

Strauss,  Truslow,  Washington,  Waterman,  Whitmore,  Wing,  F. 
Winston  (62),  were  admitted  without  conditions.  The  remainder 
received  25  conditions,  distributed  from  1  to  12  to  each  man. 
About  half  of  these,  however,  were  passed  off  in  September. 
Brooks,  who  took  the  examinations  in  San  Francisco,  June,  '81, 
received  "  six  conditions,  and  took  the  second  prize  of  the 
Yale  Club  of  Pacific  Coast,  $100  ;  three  men  tried,  and  one  got 
left."

THE  OPTIONAL  SYSTEM. 

Too  much  cannot  be  said  in  praise  of  the  optional  system.  It 
is  "Utopia  almost  realized."  Nine-tenths  of  the  class  are  specific 
in  stating  their  conviction  that  less  option  in  the  choice  of  studies 
would  be  illiberal,  and  that  the  extension  of  the  system  over  the 
first  two  years  would  be  questionable  policy.  Introduced  in  our 
Junior  year,  the  comparative  tables  of  our  studies  shows  its  growth 
since  that  time. 

One  of  the  desirable  changes  which  has  not  yet  followed  its 
introduction,  except  so  far  as  the  new  Special  Honors  shall  even- 
tually supplant  it,  is  a  change  in  the  marking  system  for  the  last 
two  years.  There  is  evidently  much  room  for  growth  and  perfec- 
tion still,  and  the  bunching  of  recitations  is  one  of  the  necessary 
evils.  A  larger  faculty,  too,  it  is  thought,  could  administer  the 
system  with  a  proportionately  greater  success.  As  one  puts  the 
social  view  of  it  —  and  Yale  men  are  wont  to  estimate  highly  their 
social  life  :  under  the  optional  system,  "  the  first  two  years  we  are 
kept  together;  the  last  two  we  have  opportunities  for  giving  atten- 
tion to  individual  specialties."  But  that  very  advantage  lays  the 
system  bare  to  the  strongest  Yale  charge  that  has  yet  been  brought 
against  it:  "  It  destroys  class  feeling  and  class  unity."  For  this, 
however,  the  common  recreation  hour  is  a  pretty  successful  anti 
dote,  and  -will,  no  doubt,  be  more  successful  next  year  in  maintain- 
ing that  good  fellowship  of  which  Yale  is  justly  proud. 


RANK  AND  DEPORTMENT. 


While  the  class  was  divided  according  to  stand  —  after  the  first 
six  weeks  of  Freshman  year,  up  to  the  spring  term  of  Junior  year 
—  the  following  were  always  in  the  first  division:  W.  A.  Adams, 
N.  I.  Adams,  Ailing,  H.  Ames,  Bates,  Beadle,  Bidwell,  Bishop, 
Brown,  Capron,  Clarke,  Corkery,  Connor,  Crapo,  Crehore,  Davis, 
Dickey,  Dutcher,  Eliot,  A.  Fellows,  G.  Fellows,  Goebel,  Goodrich, 
Hunt,  Jaggard,  G.  Kingsley,  W.  Kingsley,  Knapp,  D.  Lambert, 
Lewis,  McElroy,  C.  Moore,  D.  Moore,  F.  G.  Moore,  F.  \V.  Moore, 
Nason,  Painter,  Parks,  A.  Phelps,  Pierson,  Schwab,  Scott,  Sewall, 


Class  Book.  5 7 

Shipman,    G.    C.    Smith,    Stearns,    Stebbins,    Stiles,    Washington, 
Waterman,  Whitmore,  Woollen. 

Adler,  P.  Ames,  Anthony,  E.  Brandegee,  Cornwell,  Edgar, 
Hungerford,  Mosle,  Peters,  Robbins,  F.  R.  Smith  and  F.  Winston 
have  been  in  the  first  with  the  exception  of  one  or  two  terms. 
Thirty  have  been  in  the  first,  more  or  less.  C.  F.  Adams  and  E.  C. 
Smith  have  been  constantly  in  the  second  division,  and  Allen, 
Bailey,  Graves  and  Jeffras  have  generally  been  there.  Four  have 
been  constantly  in  the  last  division. 

Eighty-one  of  the  class  have  never  received  a  condition  in  col- 
lege. Sprague  has  received  19,  and  several,  "  too  many  to  enume- 
rate." So  far  as  classified,  conditions  were  given  :  in  Greek — by 
Prof.  Tarbell,  15  ;  Prof.  Seymour,  12  ;  Mr.  Cooper,  14  ;  in  Latin — 
by  Prof.  Wright,  5  ;  by  Mr.  Tighe,  1  ;  by  Mr.  Cooper,  1  ;  Trigonom- 
etry— by  Prof.  Richards,  8  ;  in  Mathematics — by  Prof.  Richards,  6  ; 
Prof.  Beebe,  3  ;  Astronomy  —  Prof.  Newton,  7  ;  Mechanics  and 
Physics — by  Prof.  E.  S.  Dana,  10;  Chemistry — by  Prof.  Wright,  1  ; 
in  Logic  —  by  Prof.  Tarbell,  14  ;  Roman  History — Mr.  Tighe,  2  ; 
Mediaeval  History  —  Prof.  Bendelari,  2  ;  American  History — Prof. 
Dexter,  1  ;  English — Mr.  Whitney,  1  ;  Mr.  McLaughlin,  4  ;  Prof. 
Beers,  2  ;  Italian,  1,  French,  2,  Prof.  Bendelari  ;  German,  14,  Prof. 
Ripley  ;  and  1  "  in  base  ball  and  boating  given  by  Plato  and  Soc- 
rates." Reconditions  have  been  4  in  Logic,  8  in  Greek,  4  in  Trig- 
onometry, 3  in  German,  2  in  Mediaeval  History,  and  1  each  in 
Geometry,  Astronomy  and  Roman  History. 

Five  men  have  been  suspended  nine  times  for  marks  (4),  for  un- 
passed  conditions,  and  for  (alleged)  exploding  fire-crackers  on  the 
campus.  Four  men  have  been  dropped  from  higher  classes  into 
'86  for  low  stand.  One  experienced  a  previous  dropping  for  haz- 
ing. Two  were  dropped  at  the  Christmas  examination  in  Sopho- 
more year,  but  were  reinstated  at  the  June  annuals. 

The  studies  arranged  in  the  order  of  the  number  of  persons  to 
whom  they  have  given  most  pleasure,  beginning  with  the  highest 
number,  are  :  Political  Economy  (including  the  Problems  course), 
48  ;  English  Literature,  16  ;  the  several  History  courses,  13  ;  Physics 
and  Electricity,  12  ;  Ethics,  4  ;  French,  4  ;  Geology,  4  ;  German,  4  ; 
Greek,  4  ;  Logic,  4  ;  Mathematics,  4  ;  Latin,  2  ;  Classics,  2  ;  Astron- 
omy, Botany,  Descriptive  Geometry,  Meteorology,  Mineralogy, 
Modern  Languages,  Philosophy,  Physiological  Psychology,  Psy- 
chology and  Zoology,  1  each. 

The  studies  which  have  been  hardest  or  least  pleasant,  similarly 


j8  Yale  '86 

arranged,  are  :  German  and  Psychology,  17  each  ;  Astronomy  and 
the  several  courses  in  Greek,  15  each  ;  mathematics  as  a  science,  12  ; 
and  Algebra,  Analytical  Geometry,  Map  Projection,  Geometry  and 
Trigonometry,  11  more  ;  Chemistry,  10  ;  the  Latin  courses,  4  ;  Eng- 
lish Literature,  4  ;  Ethics,  History  of  Philosophy,  Mechanics  and 
Mediaeval  History,  3  each  ;  Botany,  Logic,  Linguistics,  Law,  and 
Club  Swinging,  1  each. 

The  arrangement  of  the  years  of  the  course  in  the  order  of  the 
degree  of  their  difficulty  suggests  a  problem  in  permutations  and 
combinations.  Forty-two  found  Freshman  year  most  difficult,  and 
each  one  in  order  of  seniority  less  difficult  than  its  predecessor. 
Forty-one  arrange  them  thus  :  Sophomore,  Freshman,  Junior,  Sen- 
ior. All  the  other  possible  combinations  of  the  four  years  are  made 
by  three  men  each  on  the  average.  We  offer  it  as  a  Senior  Mathe- 
matical Prize  problem  to  calculate  how  many  answered  this  ques- 
tion. 

For  favorite  professor,  the  vote  stands  :  President  Porter,  48  ; 
Prof.  Sumner,  26  ;  Prof.  E.  S.  Dana,  17  ;  Prof.  A.  M.  Wheeler,  10  ; 
Profs.  Peck  and  Phillips,  4  ;  Profs.  Beers,  Knapp,  Richards  and 
Tarbell,  3  ;  Profs.  H.  P.  Wright  and  Ripley,  2  ;  Profs.  J.  D.  Dana, 
Eaton  and  Bendelari,  1.  The  vote  for  favorite  tutor  is  :  Mr.  Tighe, 
96  ;  Mr.  Reynolds,  16  ;  Mr.  Amundson  and  Mr.  Whitney,  2.  It 
has  been  easiest  to  recite  to  President  Porter  for  92  ;  to  Prof.  E.  S. 
Dana  for  6  ;  to  Profs.  Beers  and  A.  W.  Wright,  5  ;  Prof.  Bendelari, 

4  ;  Prof.  Eaton,  3  ;  Prof.  Knapp,  3  ;  Prof.  Richards,  3  ;  to  Mr. 
Amundson,  Prof.  Beebe,  Prof.  Ladd,  Mr.  McLaughlin,  Profs.  Phil- 
lips, J.  K.  Thacher,  H.  P.  Wright,  and  Mr.  Whitney,  1  each.  It  has 
been  hardest  to  recite  to  Prof.  Richards  for  47  ;  to  Prof.  Wheeler, 
for  30  ;  to  Prof.  Tarbell  for  18  ;  Prof.  Beebe,  7  ;   Prof.  E.  S.  Dana, 

5  ;  Prof.  Newton  and  Prof.  Ripley,  4  ;  Mr.  Cooper,  3  ;  Profs.  Ladd, 
Loomis,  Seymour,  Sumner,  and  Mr.  Reynolds  and  Mr.  Tighe,  1 
each. 

Eighty-six  of  the  class  have  had  letters  sent  home  for  marks, 
and  27  for  low  stand  and  conditions.  Sprague  has  had  8^  sent 
home  ;  Ryce,  as  many  as  their  are  occasions  provided  in  the  regu- 
lations ;  Day  and  Bixby  are  reported  for  marks  "  every  term  with 
perfect  regularity."  Eight  have  been  summoned  before  the  faculty 
and  received  sentence  of  20  marks,  suspension  and  dropping. 

Fifteen  men  have  received  warning  from  time  to  time  for  marks, 
and  45  have  been  warned  more  or  lessv  for  low  stand  ;  some  only 
once,  one  man  8  times,  and  two  "  regularly  every  term  since  enter- 
ing."

"  Equo  ne  credite"  quoth  Vergil,  and  nine  '86  men  never  used  a 
"horse."  The  story  about  yoking  the  horse  and  ass  together,  told 
to  us,  innocent  Freshmen,  by  Prof.  Seymour,  troubled  one  man  so 
that  he  used  a  trot  but  seldom.  Five  others  used  a  "  trot  "  "  two  or 
three  hours  in  all,"  and  "  on  reviews  ;"  and  34  irregularly  as  "  safe- 
guard against  flunks,"  "as  far  as  common  sense  would  let  me," 
"  never  rode  bareback,"  and  one  confesses  even  "beyond  proper 
limits."  Buck  used  a  "horse"  in  Latin  a  little,  but  never  in  Greek. 
Sixty-three  have  "  trotted  all  the  way,"  "  because  it  is  easier  to  ride 
than  to  walk,  and  you  'get  there  all  the  same,'"  "could  not  get 
along  without  it,"  "to  save  time,"  "for  expediency,"  "language  is 
my  bane,"  "  my  tutor  justified  me,"  and  "  on  account  of  marking 
system."  One  man  is  so  confident  as  to  assert,  "  if  rightly  used,  the 
easiest  and  most  beneficial  way  of  getting  out  a  lesson."  More- 
over, there  is  good  precedent  to  support  the  use  of  the  "trot." 
E.  Brandegee  has  a  translation  of  Demosthenes  which  he  discov- 
ered among  the  college  books  of  his  father,  who  graduated  in  '32. 
At  about  that  period  a  change  was  made  in  the  recitation  of  the 
classics,  which  up  to  that  time  had  usually  consisted  of  merely 
translating  the  text.  The  instructors  began  to  question  the  stu- 
dents on  points  of  syntax  and  grammar,  because  of  their  growing 
reliance  on  the  translated  texts. 

As  to  the  morality  of  cribbing,  52  believe  it  morally  wrong  and 
have  practiced  what  they  believe.  Fifteen  both  excuse  cribbing 
and  have  practiced  it  "regularly;"  and  20  indulge  "  to  a  limited 
extent,"  "  not  as  a  practice,"  and  "  in  ethics."  One  man  asserts,  "  I 
think  it  right  to  get  the  better  of  the  faculty  in  any  way  possible." 
"  Cribbing  is  excusable  if  it  is  necessary  in  order  to  graduate  ;" 
"  ethically  wrong,  practically  expedient  under  the  marking  sys- 
tem." "  It  is  wrong  only  in  men  who  are  trying  for  honors  and 
prizes  in  cases  where  it  would  injure  innocent  parties."  "  If  the 
faculty  applies  the  '  spy  system  ' — tacitly  taking  for  granted  that  a 
man  will  crib  if  he  can  get  a  chance — I  don't  consider  that,  as  far  as 
one's  relations  to  the  faculty  are  concerned,  one  does  wrong  in 
cribbing.  I  do  not  think  it  right  to  crib,  but  under  the  spy  system 
I  consider  the  wrong  done  is  done  to  one's  self,  not  to  the  faculty. 
I  believe  that  examinations  should  be  conducted  on  the  honor  of 
the  men  examined."  "Think  it  is  just  as  wrong  to  deceive  the 
faculty  as  to  deceive  anyone  else  ;  cribbing  is  one  of  those  cases 
which  Prex.  speaks  of  as  '  being  permitted  by  the  particular  code 
of  honor  of  a  certain  community,  though  morally  wrong.' ' 


6o  Yale  '86 


The  present  marking  system,  6  think  "admirable;"  20,  " good 
enough;"  "an  incentive  to  thorough  scholarship,  and  though  it 
may  often  discourage  special  or  original  investigation,  it  produces 
a  higher  average  scholarship  than  any  other  system  would  ;"  while 
another  asserts  that  it  directly  antagonizes  good  scholarship  ;  10 
call  it  a*  relic  of  barbarism,  and  a  poor  means  to  an  end  ;  17,  useless, 
should  be  abolished  ;  in  a  word,  "  the  marking  system  depends,  as 
far  as  recitation  goes,  upon  the  personal  character  of  the  instruc- 
tors, their  disposition,  judgment  and  general  ailment  they  are 
subject  to  ;  none  the  less  mischievous  because  unintentional  or 
uncontrollable.  As  for  marking  attendance  and  deportment,  more 
justice  can  prevail.  Instructors  in  colleges  are  chosen  more  often 
for  what  they  know  than  for  what  they  can  teach  or  feel."  Twenty- 
five  consider  it  a  necessary  evil,  until  the  millennium  comes  and 
fellows  will  study  without  any  incentive  except  what  is  within. 
Several  suggest  that  examinations  only  should  be  marked  ;  and 
another  predicts  that  "  while  retained  substantially  as  at  present 
for  the  first  two  years  of  the  course,  during  the  last  two,  under  the 
optional  system,  it  will  be  replaced  "  by  the  special  honor  system, 
perhaps. 


RELIGION  AND  MORALITY. 

Sixty-eight,  or  48.5  per  cent,  of  the  class,  are  church  members, 
and  38.57  per  cent,  in  addition  specify  their  denominational  prefer- 
ences. The  following  cut  (No.  3)  will  illustrate  their  distribution 
among  various  denominations.  The  black  space  indicates  the  per- 
centage of  communicants,  and  the  shaded  the  number  preferring 
the  respective  denominations.  The  whole  cut  approximately  repre- 
sents the  class. 

Ten  have  attended  Trinity  regularly,  and  6,  other  Episcopal 
churches.  Twelve  attend  churches  of  four  other  denominations, 
and  the  rest  "  have  always  received  their  Sunday  droppings  from 
the  eaves  of  the  sanctuary  at  Battell  chapel." 

Dickey  has  been  absent  from  only  four  or  five  prayer  meetings 
during  the  four  years  ;  21  have  attended  regularly  ;  23  irregularly  ; 
4  attended  during  Freshman  year  ;  7  only  a  few  times  ;  and  about 
25  have  attended  less  than  five  times.  About  60  have  never  been 
at  all.

Ten  have  taught  Sunday-school  in  the  Bethany  Mission,  and  an 
equal  number  have  taught  in  the  Broadway  Mission  and  other 
schools.  A  number  of  the  class  have  at  times  supported  entry 
meetings.  Four  have  united  with  the  church  during  their  course. 
A.  Phelps  has  preached  on  four  or  five  occasions.  P.  K.  Ames  is 
superintendent  of  Sunday-school  at  the  Church  of  the  Messiah, 
and  on  the  prudential  committee  of  said  church. 

The  vote  on  the  question  of  compulsory  chapel  is  too  decided 
to  need  comment  ;  of  128  votes,  98  favor  compulsory  chapel  and 
30  condemn  it.  It  may  be  gathered  from  the  comments  made  to 
some  of  the  answers  that  by  many,  the  compulsory  chapel  is  re- 
garded favorably,  not  as  a  religious  service,  but  as  a  social  and 
educational  institution.  Three  think  more  chapel  "  cuts  "  should 
be  allowed. 

The  statistics  upon  the  subjects  treated  in  the  pages  following 
(61  to  66)  are  incomplete,  and  in  many  respects  unsatisfactory. 
So  much  as  could  be  gathered  from  the  answers  has  been  faith- 
fully given.  There  are  54  who  claim  not  to  be  addicted  to  swear- 
ing ;  54  who  do  not  bet  ;  74  who  do  not  gamble  ;  45  who  do  not 
smoke;  and  41  who  do   not  drink,  though  the  majority  of  those 


62  Yale  '86 

who  do  would  explain  that  they  "drink  only  beer,  and  generally 
very  little  of  that."  License  is  favored  by  50,  no  license  by  29, 
and  high  license  by  16.  One  believes  only  in  "  license  to  preach 
and  dog  license." 


AMUSEMENTS. 

There  is  no  end  to  the  variety  of  card  games  the  members  of 
the  class  can  play.  Morgan  refers  to  Hoyle,  H.  Ames  is  limited 
to  "  900  "  games,  E.  Phelps  to  "  800  odd,"  and  D.  Moore  to  "  200." 
Bremner  played  whist  one  night  from  9  p.  m.  to  6  a.  m.,  and  Scott 
played  700  games  of  whist  in  one  week,  winning  two-thirds  of 
them.  Sixty-nine  play  whist  and  45  call  it  their  favorite,  and  24 
mention  poker.  Chess  is  played  by  21,  and  checkers  by  4.  To  go 
through  the  list  down  to  "  clap  in — clap  out"  would  be  tiresome. 
None  have  serious  objections  to  the  games  mentioned,  but  several 
think  them  a  waste  of  time  that  might  generally  be  better  employed. 

Scott  is  the  most  inveterate  theatre-goer  in  the  class,  averaging 
four  times  a  week,  though  12  others  often  go  two  or  three  times  in 
a  week;  n  go  frequently;  8  once  a  week;  25  occasionally;  21 
when  there  is  a  good  show  and  a  healthy  pocket-book  ;  and  the 
rest  average  only  one  or  two  theatres  a  month.  The  editors  go 
"  as  often  as  their  turn  comes  round  for  tickets;"  and  the  News 
chairman  objects  to  theatres  on  the  ground  that  "it  diverts  the 
editors  from  their  work."  Of  other  objections  held  against  the 
theatre,  some  are  as  "  flippant "  as  the  variety  shows  themselves  ; 
but  only  one  or  two  refrain  from  patronizing  the  theatre  or  attack 
it  as  boldly  as  these  :  "  Balance  of  influence  of  the  theatre,  taken 
as  a  whole,  is  rather  degrading  than  elevating  ;  dangerous  place 
for  weak  imaginations."  "  I  believe  that  the  moral  influence  of 
a  large  majority  of  the  plays  and  of  the  theatre  throughout  the 
country  is  decidedly  pernicious.  Besides,  I  do  not  wish  to  help  in 
the  support  of  an  institution  which,  with  few  exceptions,  employs 
men  and  women  of  immoral  character,  and  which  seems  to  exert 
a  contaminating  influence  on  most  persons,  however  pure  at  first, 
who  go  on  the  stage." 

Booth  is  the  favorite  actor,  getting  36  votes.  Irving  has  20 
admirers  ;  Salvini,  10  ;  Jefferson,  7  ;  Barrett,  5  ;  and  a  host  other 
tragic,  comic  and  variety  actors  have  a  few  votes  each  ;  among  these 
should  be  singled  out  for  special  mention  :  Joe  Vernon,  Dickey 


Class  Book.  6j 

"  the  bon-ton  society  girl,"  Chart.  Lewis,  "  Miss  Tommy  Day,"  and 
"  M'me.  H.  S.  Ames  as  Rosalind." 

Among  the  well-known  actresses,  the  choice  of  favorites  is  quite 
as  various.  Mary  Anderson  is  the  preference  of  39  ;  Modjeska  of 
9  ;  Ellen  Terry  of  7  ;  Margaret  Mather,  5  ;  Ristori,  Ulmar,  Ada 
Rehan  and  others  are  the  choice  of  3  or  less. 

The  objections  to  dancing  are  tersely  stated  :  "  It  is  a  waste  of 
(1)  health,  (2)  time,  (3)  money,  and  (4)  religion."  "  I  think  that  the 
influence  of  round  dancing  is  opposed  to  the  highest  delicacy  and 
refinement."  But  the  constituency  holding  these  strict  opinions, 
honest  and  conscientious  though  they  be,  is  small.  Twelve  give 
no  answer  to  the  question  ;  29  do  not  dance,  but  a  number  of  them 
wish  they  did,  or  at  least  have  no  objections  to  the  amusement. 
Morgan  objects  only  because  "  I  can't  learn  the  confounded  sci- 
ence." One  hundred  do  dance,  of  whom  85  prefer  the  waltz  ;  and 
here  are  some  of  their  reasons  :  "  Ah,  there  !  as  all  the  world  goes 
the  waltz  ;  it  exhibits  the  best  combination  of  the  poetry  of  time 
and  motion."  "It  embodies  bright  conceits  in  meter."  "It  takes 
more  of  an  'artiste'  to  dance  it,  and  it  gives  more  pleasure  to  the 
number  of  foot  pounds  of  work  expended."  "  Because  your  part- 
ner can't  talk."  "  Because  of  the  pleasant  sensation  while  twirling 
around."  "  Because  of  the  thrill  of  pleasure  that  darts  through 
my  whole  frame."  "Because  I  am  pure-minded."  "  It  embraces 
more  good  points  than  any  other."  And  for  "  mis(s)cellaneous 
reasons."  Twenty  of  the  class  learned  at  New  Haven  ;  as  one  says, 
at  the  "Temple  of  Music,  under  the  careful  and  experienced  direc- 
tion of  Professor  A.  M.  Loomis." 

Outside  of  the  Glee  Clubs,  which  are  spoken  of  elsewhere,  the 
class  makes  little  pretension  in  singing.  Hymns  in  the  class 
prayer-meetings  are  managed  very  well,  but  the  introduction  of 
hymn  books  into  the  chapel  service  did  not  brace  up  the  singing 
of  the  class  much.  Only  the  Freshmen  sing  hymns  by  note.  But 
in  crowds  at  the  fence,  over  the  flowing  bowl,  and  in  small  parties 
anywhere,  there  are  few  who  cannot  come  within  half  an  octave 
of  the  proper  note,  and  everybody  tries  to.  But  when  they  attempt 
a  solo,  they  do  it  alone,  "  because  they  are  soon  left  alone  when  they 
sing."  Adler  is  "  dead  stuck  "  on  music.  Bidwell  will  sing  either 
"  D(e)  part,"  "3rd  bass,"  or  "short  stop."  One  man  likes  "to  hear 
Anderson  sing  his  alliterative  rhymes  to  original  music  ;"  others 
also  quite  enjoy  to  hear  him.  Austen  Colgate's  voice,  the  Bixby 
method,  and  Tom   Darling  singing  "The  Shepherd's  complaint," 


64  Yale  '86 

also  have  admirers.  Operatic,  sentimental,  and  male  quartette 
singing  are  most  popular,  and  from  that  the  variety  runs  down  to 
"  the  steam  heater  when  it's  mad,"  and  "my  own,"  which  2  prefer. 

Instrumental  music  can  be  produced,  so  it  is  claimed,  on  the 
piano  by  20  ;  on  the  organ  by  4  or  more  ;  on  the  banjo  by  16  ; 
violin,  7  ;  guitar,  11  ;  jewsharp,  11  ;  flute,  4  ;  drum,  5  ;  and  on  the 
gozoo,  xylophone,  foghorn,  calliope,  whistle  (three  chords),  har- 
monica, cornet,  tambourine,  clappers,  bass  drum,  bass  fiddle,  and 
hand-organ.  Hyde  professes  the  greatest  accomplishment,  being 
competent  to  discourse  harmony  from  the  piano,  flute,  drum,  fife, 
occarina,  guitar  and  banjo.  Piano  music  is  most  popular  with  the 
class  (39  votes),  and  Dan  Moore  is  the  most  popular  pianist.  Violin 
(18),  banjo  (13),  organ  (9),  'cello  (4),  and  a  dozen  other  varieties, 
find  admirers.  "  Ryce  on  the  banjo  and  chum's  Mikado  on  the 
bass  viol  "  have  a  reputation  more  than  local. 

"  Why,  Mr. ,  how  could  you  !     Of  course  I  don't  paint  ! 

You  horrid  thing  !     Do  not  draw  (except  draw  poker)  nor  sketch  !" 

However,  Brown,  Davis,  Mathews,  Painter  and  Redfield  paint, 
draw  and  sketch,  and  a  few  others  have  some  degree  of  accom- 
plishment in  one  or  another  of  these  arts.  Other  essays  in  this 
line  are  thus  described  :  "  I  never  paint,  but  my  room-mate  some- 
times paints  the  town."  "Sketch  'the  embodiment  of  bright  con- 
ceits in  meter'  (?)  when  four  columns  short"  (Bidwell).  "Draw 
skeletons  of  frogs,  muscles,  arteries,  etc."  "  Yes,  sketch  an  outline 
of  my  college  life  to  my  sister  betimes,  but  I  never  fill  it  in." 


SPORTS  AND  RECREATIONS. 

Tennis  is  the  most  popular  out-of-door  sport.  So  great  is  its 
popularity  that  batting  tennis  balls  over  the  benches  in  front  of 
Durfee  and  against  the  tower  of  Old  Chapel  has  interfered  with 
marbles,  tops,  and  "nigger  baby."  Sixty-six  play  tennis  and  like 
it  because  it  gives  "the  best  exercise  ;"  "for  its  indescribable  fas- 
cinations," "because  girls  can  play  it,"  "because  it  combines  the 
benefits  of  all  other  sports  and  has  not  the  objections  of  any." 

Foot  ball,  "  the  Yale  game  " — "  so  manly  and  exciting,  necessitat- 
ing long  and  cool  heads,  as  well  as  physical  capabilities,"  is  played 
by  39  men  from  whom  it  receives  high  praise.  "  Without  doubt 
foot  ball  is  the  finest  game  in  the  world.      Moreover,  from  the 


Class  Book.  63 

nature  of  the  game,  it  can  reach  its  perfection  only  in  American 
colleges.     Long  may  it  uphold  its  supremacy  !" 

Thirty-four  play  baseball ;  26  row  ;  12  enjoy  track  athletics  ;  5  play 
lacrosse  ;  and  boxing,  wrestling,  and  fencing,  have  a  few  devotees. 

Travel  through  the  States  has  been  pretty  generally  limited  to 
trips  to  and  from  college,  and  little  of  interest  can  be  said  on  the 
subject.  Thus  the  States  along  the  main  lines  of  railroad  between 
Connecticut  and  the  Mississippi  have  been  traveled  most,  the 
Southern  States  least.  Shelden,  Nichols  and  Hyde  have  traveled 
in  all.  Parks  has  not  been  out  of  Connecticut.  The  New  England 
States  have  been  visited  most  for  pleasure  and  sight-seeing;  then 
Washington,  D.  C,  and  the  Western  States. 

Thirty-one  have  been  abroad,  and  nearly  all  of  them  have  trav- 
eled thoroughly  through  the  British  Islands  and  the  continent.  C.  T. 
Mathews  was  abroad  in  1863,  '68,  '69,  '70,  '72,  '73  and  '84.  H.  Ames 
in  '76,  '79,  '8^  and '85.  Allen,  H.  Ames,  Anderson,  Brown,  A.  Col- 
gate, Darling,  Edgar,  Hickox,  Mathews,  Morgan,  Mosle,  Nason, 
Waterman,  F.  Winston  and  D.  Winston  have  been  abroad  since 
entering  in  June,  '82.  Thirteen  have  been  in  the  British  Provinces. 
Robbins  and  Bishop  spent  several  weeks  in  New  Brunswick,  after 
birds'  eggs,  etc.,  in  the  summer  of  '85,  and  have  since  described 
their  experiences  and  successes  before  the  Natural  History  Society, 
of  which  they  are  active  and  efficient  members.  Brooks  and  Nich- 
ols have  traveled  in  Mexico,  and  Peet  in  China  and  Japan. 

These  customs  of  visiting  Freshmen  and  rushing  have  suffered 
sadly  in  reputation.  The  Freshman  supposes  that  he  must  endure 
the  former  and  believes  that  unless  he  enters  into  the  latter  he  will 
never  quite  be  a  genuine  Yale  man.  At  least  the  Juniors  tell  him 
he  must  of  all  things  support  his  class,  and  he  would  not  doubt 
that  all  this  was  so,  were  it  not  that  some  people  think  the  customs 
are  "brutal,"  " tyrannous,"  and  "not  to  be  endured,"  and  that  the 
sensational  reporter  has  accordingly  so  described  them.  Eighty- 
six  "  ought  to  know  ;"  for  she  has  been  visited,  and  in  turn  visited 
and  rushed  well.  Eighty-one  "  received  ;"  five  spent  $5,  each  in 
entertainment,  a  few  lost  bangers  and  scanned  prose.  Dickey  and 
E.  L.  Smith  made  acquaintances  which  were  pleasantly  continued. 
Scott  was  called  upon  by  20  men  at  one  time. 

Sixty-three  made  calls  in  Sophomore  year.     Eighty-six  favor 
the  custom,  as  one  says,  "if  the  Freshmen  do  not  have  to  pay  for 
anything,"  because  "  it   makes  the  Freshmen  less  conceited,  and 
promotes  class  feeling."     Only  31  oppose  the  custom.

Likewise  of  the  rushes.  Thirty-seven  have  participated  in  all 
they  could  get  into,  except  that  they  were  "  not  with  Moses  in  the 
bulrushes,"  and  64  have  been  in  a  part  of  the  class  rushes.  Losses 
and  gains  were  too  numerous  to  mention  and  none  very  valuable. 
During  '87*s  initial  rush  on  the  Grammar  School  lot,  Paul  Ames 
made  some  practical  fun,  on  his  own  account,  by  appearing  in 
the  crowd  dressed  in  a  blue  coat  and  brass  buttons,  and  apprehend- 
ing a  number  of  the  Freshmen  as  well  as  some  of  his  own  class. 
He  retired  from  the  field  of  glory  a  turn-coat,  lest  he  might  be 
apprehended  for  masquerading  in  a  policeman's  uniform.  "  Pro- 
vided they  are  not  carried  to  excess  " — a  very  general  limitation — 
rushes  are  looked  upon  by  '86  as  "  indicating  how  much  sand  the 
Freshmen  have,  stimulating  a  healthy  class  feeling,  calculated  to 
bind  the  class  together  and  likely  to  do  little  harm  to  anybody." 
But  14  dissent  because  it  is  "  puerile  "  and  "  bad  for  the  college  ;" 
and  Beardsley's  non-participation  will  be  immortalized  by  a  joke  : 
"  Have  always  endeavored  to  be  eccentric  in  this  matter — that  is,  I 
was  concentric  on  none  of  the  various  occasions  when  '&6  figured  as 
rushers." 

Eighteen  have  been  arrested.  Bon-fires,  trespass,  disturbing 
peace,  assaulting  police,  stealing  signs,  "singing  badly,"  and 
"carrying  an  unlicensed  breath"  were  the  offences,  and  the  costs 
and  fines  were  $125. 

E.  Phelps  and  Appleton  hired  a  truckman  to  bring  up  some 
boxes  for  a  bonfire  one  night  during  Freshman  year,  but  the  load 
Was  intercepted  by  a  cop  who  took  them  for  Medics  on  a  body- 
snatching  raid.  They  were  released  on  a  promise  not  to  go  a- 
snatching  that  night.     The  next  night  they  had  their  bon-fire. 

H.  Ames,  Brinton  and  N.  I.  Adams  posed  as  heroes  one  after- 
noon in  the  Fall  of  Sophomore  year.  The  class  races  were  to  be 
rowed  on  the  harbor  and  several  hundred  students  gathered  in  the 
vicinity  of  Belle  Dock  to  see  the  finish.  The  best  position  for 
seeing  the  race  was  the  roof  of  the  freight  house,  which  was  soon 
occupied  by  a  hundred  or  more.  Upon  this  party,  the  police  made 
a  raid  and  captured  six  or  seven  ;  of  whom  Ames,  Brinton  and 
Adams  were  three.  An  exasperating  ride  to  police  headquarters 
and  a  nominal  fine  were  the  only  casualties,  and  they  were  back 
on  the  dock  in  time  to  see  the  '86  crew  defeat  the  Juniors.  One 
man  is  still  ambitious  to  become  eligible  to  membership  in  the 
criminal  club  and  asserts  that  "  no  man  ought  to  go  through  col- 
lege without  being  jugged  once"  by  the  New  Haven  police;  and 


Class  Book.  6y 

as  for  this  other  fellow,  Bidwell,  it  was  a  case  of  ill-judged  clem- 
ency that  he  was  not  sentenced  to  the  reform  school  for  wicked 
boys  :  "  Have  been  arrested  (in  the  act  of  getting  off  a  gag)  for 
humanitarian  principles.     A  fine,  result." 


AS  NEWSPAPER  READERS  AND  WRITERS. 

The  circulation  of  the  college  papers  has  been  as  follows  : 
Freshman  year — Lit.,  90  ;  Courant,  97  ;  Record,  81  ;  News,  81.  Soph- 
omore year — Lit.,  91  ;  Courant,  99  ;  Record,  79  ;  News,  92.  Junior 
year — Lit.,  96  ;  Courant,  100  ;  Record,  82  ;  News,  98.  Senior  year— - 
Lit.,  103  ;  Courant,  98  ;  Record,  87  ;  News,  98.  Thirty-six  have  taken 
all  the  papers  every  year.  Seventy-one  prefer  the  Courant  to  the 
Record,  and  20  on  the  contrary  value  the  Record  most. 

Ten  have  kept  files  of  them  all ;  31  have  files  of  the  Lit.  pre- 
served ;  22  have  files  of  the  Courant  ;  23,  of  the  News  j  and  14,  of 
the  Record. 

Fifty-two  have  contributed  to  one  or  more  of  the  college 
papers.  Thirty-three  have  written  for  publication  in  the  News  ; 
17,  for  the  Lit.;  16,  for  the  Courant ;  and  15,  for  the  Record. 

Twenty-two  have  written  poetry  for  publication  :  6  having  had 
articles  in  the  Courant ;  10,  in  the  Lit.;  and  8  in  the  Record.  Wash- 
ington contributed  to  "  St.  Nicholas  ten  years  ago  ;"  Goodyear  to 
the  H.  G.  Critic;  Vernon,  to  a  Brooklyn  paper;  Woollen,  to  an 
Indianapolis  paper  ;  A.  Phelps,  to  the  Christian  Secretary  (Hartford, 
Conn.)  ;  Wing,  to  Life,  the  Springfield  Republican,  and  Detroit  Free 
Press ;  S.  Phelps  and  Waterman,  to  the  New  York  and  other 
papers  ;   and  Beardsley,  to  Life. 

Twenty-nine  others  have  contributed  to  secular  papers.  P. 
Ames  has  written  for  the  New  Haven  papers  some,  and  for  the 
Harvard  Crimson;  Appleton,  for  the  N.  Y.  Times  a  year  ;  S.  Phelps 
reported  for  the  Tribune  one  summer;  Bidwell,  for  no  less  than 
seven  Hartford,  New  Haven  and  other  papers;  Bristol,  for  the 
Register,  three  months  ;  Cooley  had  an  article  in  the  North  Amer- 
ican Review ;  Dougherty  for  the  Register,  and  Eliot  also  slightly  ; 
F.  W.  Moore  also  for  the  Register  and  for  the  Palladium  during 
Senior  year.  Nason  obtained  considerable  reputation  for  several 
articles  published  before  entering  college,  but  modesty  has  pre- 
vented his  continuing  them.     Nichols  at*  one  time  printed  a  boys' 


68  Yale  '86 

paper,  and  has  corresponded  for  the  city  papers  at  times.  Peet 
and  E.  L.  Smith  correspond  for  the  Boston  papers.  Peters  re- 
ported college  news  for  the  Register  a  while,  and  Ryce  for  the 
Morning  News  during  Senior  year.  Strauss  did  regular  reporting 
for  the  Journal  and  Courier  for  a  while  in  the  winter  of  '86. 

The  vote  of  the  class  for  the  most  popular  New  York  daily,

70  Yale  '86 


PERSONAL  APPEARANCE. 

The  vote  of  the  class  for  handsomest  man  was  scattered  over 
sixteen  candidates.  Stewart  has  42  votes  ;  Cowles,  35  ;  Appleton, 
12  ;  Goodrich,  8  ;  J.  C.  Adams,  Day,  and  D.  Winston,  4  each  ; 
Goodyear,  3  ;  Morley,  2  ;  and  the  rest  of  the  candidates  had  one 
(their  own  ?)  vote. 

Dan.  Bidwell  leads  in  the  vote  for  the  homeliest  man,  having 
48.  Beadle  and  F.  R.  Smith  contest  with  the  statistician  (who 
also  had  four  votes  for  handsomest  man)  for  second  place,  each 
having  9  votes  ;  Hungerford,  Parks  and  D.  Lambert  have  7,  6  and 
5  votes  respectively  ;  and  Ailing,  W.  Adams,  Hord  and  Jeffras 
have  2  each. 

There  is  such  a  diversity  in  the  descriptions  of  our  individual 
personal  appearance,  and  the  descriptions  are  couched  in  such 
"  pretty  "  phrases  withal,  that  the  class  must  be  adjudged  vain  of 
its  good  looks,  unless,  as  we  suspect,  140  of  us  know  the  ideals  of 
140  respective  "  best  girls,"  and  have  wished  ourselves  into  the 
actual  belief  that  we  really  do  look  "  so."  Therefore  6  have  eyes 
"  piercing  black."  Thirty-eight  pairs  of  eyes  are  blue;  27  are 
"gray"  or  "grey  ;"  ^3  are  brown.  Five  pairs  that  are  green  and 
10  that  are  hazel,  with  some  that  are  "  changeable"  and  "  bewitch- 
ing," complete  the  list.  Seventy-one  wear  moustaches;  a  dozen 
very  flourishing,  the  others  more  or  less  invisible.  Sixteen  wear 
side  whiskers,  and  one  a  full  beard. 

Our  hair  is  dark  brown  (6),  black  (25),  light  brown  (12),  brown 
(56),  dark  at  present,  getting  gray  fast  (Matthews),  mouse  color, 
clay  top,  tow  color,  dust  color,  dark  and  dreary,  red,  and  beautiful ; 
and  some  have  "no  hair"  of  any  color.  Twenty-eight  have  light 
complexion,  the  same  number  have  dark,  4  are  florid,  8  are  fair  ;  4 
are  brunettes  and  7  blondes.  Two  are  sallow  ;  others  have  com- 
plexions that  are  a  mixture  ;  red,  azoic,  exquisite,  moldy,  mottled, 
olive,  Italian,  spotted,  alabaster,  like  an  old  saddle,  sun-kissed,  and 
that  comes  and  goes  in  recitation-room,  a  more  accurate  indicator 
of  our  ability  to  recite  than  the  etchings  on  the  page  of  the  profes- 
sor's marking-book. 

For  styles  of  beauty,  read:  "Am  not  beautiful,  but  modest." 
"  Sylph-like  form,  D.  Webster  brow,  Apollo  hair,  faery  feet,  18th 


Class  Book.  Jl 

century  calves,  and  a  good  paunch."  "  Pouting  ruby  lips,  dimpled 
cheeks,  rosebud  mouth,  small  features,  including  feet  and  hands." 
"  I  look  like  a  beer-guzzler,  but  looks  are  deceiving."  And  so  on 
ad  infinitum',  blondo-brunette  and  brunetto-blonde,  Indo-European, 
classic,  Grecian,  Roman,  Moorish,  Gascon,  quite  English,  Circas- 
sian, Antique,  Romantic,  Eastlake,  Apollo  Belvidere,  T.  Willie 
Rockingham,  strawberry  (both  crushed  and  uncrushed)  blonde, 
angular  and  flat,  indescribable,  becoming,  ravishing,  excellent,  the 
kind  the  class  will  vote  for,  custard  pie,  budding  moustache, 
"peachblow." 


INSTROSPECTIVE. 

"These  psychological  questions  always  puzzled  me." — Morgan. 

The  greater  part  of  the  class  are  content  to  be  what  they 
are,  making  what  improvements  they  can  on  the  original.  A 
few  have  definite  ideals  of  happiness,  comfort,  good  fortune,  and 
ambition  attained.  Some  such  are  :  Pres.  Porter  or  Prof.  Ladd, 
"Balls,"  W.  M.  Evarts,  C.  M.  Depew,  T.  F.  Bayard,  "G.  Washing- 
ton or  any  other  angel,"  an  alumnus,  C.  M.  Lewis,  Goodrich  (5), 
Prince  of  Wales,  Venus  von  Milo,  Vanderbilt,  the  valedictorian,  my 
father  ;  "  the  man  with  the  greatest  head,  the  most  money  and 
most  power  on  the  earth  ;"  "  Phil.  Stewart,  Mary  Anderson,  Al. 
Cowles,  Bismark,  Gladstone,  Queen  Victoria,  Cleveland,  Phillips 
Brooks;"  "  Shakespere,  or  that  brilliant  commentator,  Tutor  Mc- 
Laughlin;" "  Hotchkiss,  the  Atlas  of  the  campus;"  "somebody 
who  never  had  to  get  ads.  or  answer  statistic  questions  ;"  "  '  Billy  ' 
Sumner,  because  then  I  could  give  the  Cobden  Club  medal  to 
whom  I  liked  ;"  "  Tiggee  Tighe,  I  know  I  should  feel  well,  sure  ;" 
"D.  Winston  (3),  he  is  so  self-satisfied." 

Asked  to  state  their  most  prominent  characteristic,  15  reply 
"laziness,"  5  say  "nose,"  and  3  "  mulishness."  Other  replies,  char- 
acteristic of  the  men  who  make  them,  are  "melancholy,"  "amount 
of  work  I  am  capable  of,"  "  modesty,"  "  fondness  for  ladies'  soci- 
ety," "  combativeness,"  "  methodicalism,"  "slowness,"  "amourous- 
ness,"  "extravagance  or  admiration  of  the  nude  in  art." 

Two  think  the  class  as  a  whole  "  wanting  in  good  fellowship  ;" 
one  thinks  it  "  lacks  dignity  ;"  and  three  find  it  "  cliquey  to  the 
last  degree."  On  the  contrary,  others  find  highly  commendable 
characteristics  to  be  most  prominent.    "  Its  general  moral  tone  and 


72  Yale  '86 

the  harmony  existing  between  all  sets  of  men,  causing  the  class  to 
pull  together  much  better  than  any  other  I  know  of."  "  '86  shows 
a  peculiar  unity  and  freedom  from  cliques."  "  Its  united  condition 
and  its  high  moral  tone  with  respect  to  the  ordinary  forms  of  dis- 
sipation." "  Due  appreciation  of  the  advantages  of  a  college  edu- 
cation." "Morality"  (7),  "  beauty  "  (3),  "brains"  (4),  "good  fel- 
lowship" (10),  "superiority  over  others"  (3),  "literary  ability." 
"  General  contempt  of  '  digs '  and  men  who  recite  mechanically." 
"Noise,"  "lack  of  foot-ball  material"  (Peters),  "a  great  society 
class."  "The  class  is  most  remarkable  for  the  large  number  of 
'  those  few  immortal  names,  that  were  not  born  to  die,' — I  mean  the 
Smiths,  of  course."  But  this  is  an  imputation  against  the  Adamses 
and  Moores.  There  were  at  one  time  six  Smiths  in  the  class,  but 
they  have  dwindled  down  to  four.  On  the  contrary,  the  Moores 
have  increased,  and  the  Adamses  are  flourishing. 

Thus  the  class  of  '86  has  gone  through  college  pretty  well  satis- 
fied with  the  opinions  others  have  formed  of  it,  and  with  a  good 
opinion  of  its  own  merits  collectively  and  individually.  A  few 
pessimists  there  are,  but  their  opinion  of  themselves  would  not  be 
maintained  by  their  classmates,  and  their  lugubrious  croakings 
serve  by  contrast  to  brighten  the  happier  thoughts  of  others.  First, 
the  pessimists  :  "  I  am  one  of  the  most  worthless  creatures  cumber- 
ing the  face  of  this  planet  ;  a  fossil  chump  ;  a  poor  stick  "  (Ship- 
man).  "Lazy,  footless,  and  lacking  in  push."  "Vindictive,  mean, 
and  jealous."  "  Selfish,  egotistical,  impulsive,  stingy,  changeable, 
boastful,  revengeful,  worthless,  cheeky,  unsquelchable "  (Odell). 
"  In  a  word,  I  am  too  quick-tempered  ;  that  lies  at  the  foundation 
of  all  my  sins."  "  Inclined  to  be  over-sensitive,  fairly  clever,  good 
literary  sense,  a  dilettante,  yet  ambitious  "  (S.  Phelps).  "  My  great- 
est fault  is  supersensitiveness  ;  next,  poor  judgment  and  lack  of 
application.  My  best  point  is  loyalty  to  friends  "  (Bidwell).  "  I 
satisfy  myself,  and  generally  succeed  in  satisfying  nobody  else  " 
(F.  R.  Smith).  "I'm  long  and  slim,  tall  and  spare;  I  tried  to  get 
fat  (drinking  beer),  but  never  got  there  "  (Roache).  "  I'm  awfully 
modest  and  awfully  shy  "  (Brinton).  "  I  have  been  told  so  often 
that  I  am  a  daisy,  that  I  begin  to  believe  it"  (F.  Winston).  "Too 
great  self-consciousness  renders  me  so  bashful  as  to  make  it  diffi- 
cult for  me  to  get  well  acquainted  with  persons  in  a  short  time, 
and,  I  suppose,  gives  them  wrong  opinions  and  conceptions  of  my- 
self ;  thus  making  company,  except  to  intimate  friends,  unpleasant 
to  both  parties.     This  is  offset,  however,  by  so  '  hopeful '  a  temper- 


Class  Book.  jj 

ament  as  to  make  me  look  on  the  bright  side  of  everything,  and  to 
be  disturbed  by  scarcely  a  care  or  trouble.  A  strong  will,  a  love 
of  the  original,  and  a  gradually  decreasing  distaste  for  female  soci- 
ety, are  other  peculiarities.  (For  further  information  see  the  phre- 
nologist) "  (A.  Phelps).  "Particularly  magnetic  to  the  fair  sex  " 
(Davis).  "  A  very,  very  good  boy  "  (Hunt).  "  I  think  I  have  great 
abilities,  which  are  commonly  not  recognized,  and  for  this  reason  I 
shall  never  be  President  of  the  United  States  "  (Ailing).  "  I  think 
I  shall  make  a  big  success  "  (Schwab).  "  Words  would  be  powerless 
to  describe  it  ;  imagination  too  dwarfed  ;  even  Prof.  Ladd  could 
form  no  concept  of  it  "  (Christian).  "  Subjectively  considered,  I  am 
a  mighty  fine  fellow  ;  objectively  considered,  I  sometimes  chump 
myself"  (Graves).  "I  confess  myself  to  have  one  of  those  dull 
souls,  that  doth  not  perceive  itself  always  to  contemplate  ideas — 
Locke"  (Bristol).  "However,  it  may  not  be  entirely  superfluous 
nor  altogether  out  of  place  to  state  in  this  connection,  that,  having 
reflected  upon  myself,  or  rather  I  will  state  the  question  in  another 
form,  having  turned  my  sentient  soul  inward  and  having  cognized 
myself,  i.  e.,  I  the  identical  ego,  a  material  and  psycho-physiological 
entity,  or  as  some  affirm  a  physio-psychological  entity,  having  con- 
sidered myself,  I  repeat,  both  as  a  subject-object  and  as  an  object- 
object, —  both  as  a  primary-secundo  and  as  a  secundo-primary 
object, — a  priori,  a  posteriori,  and  a  fortiori,  and  having  duly  and 
carefully  considered  apropos  of  the  subject  the  excellent  (though  in 
some  minor  points  erroneous)  works  of  Sir  William  Hamilton, 
Berkeley,  Hume,  Dugald  Stewart,  J.  S.  Mill,  and  N.  Porter,  on  the 
Asitwereness  of  the  Whatyoumightcall,  I  am  now  prepared  to 
affirm  and  to  maintain  at  length  and  with  argument  that  I  am  a 
physiological,  psycological,  metaphysical,  moral  and  intellectual 
somewhat  which  is  permanently  space-filling,  and  tangible,  visible 
and  audible  (also  getfullable),  '  or  rather  I  will  state  the  question 
in  another  form,'  as  the  celebrated  ethicist,  Noah  Porter  of  Yale 
College  says,  and  say  what  in  its  essential  bearings,  attributes  and 
qualities,  I  said  a  moment  ago,  namely,  that  I  am  prepared  to  ex- 
claim with  my  friend,  young  Richter  :  'I  am  I '  "  (Wing). 

In  man  we  admire  :  "  first,  manliness,  comprising  honesty,  in- 
dependence, self-respect,  modesty,  and  firmness  of  friendship  ;" 
I  manliness  as  made  up  in  part  by  integrity,  morality,  unassuming 
manners,  and  an  unswerving  determination  in  whatever  is  under- 
taken ;"  "  '  nerve,'  brains,  ability  to  read  men  and  keep  others  from 
reading  him  ;"  will,  strength  of  body  and  intellect,  good  fellow-

ship,  moral  courage,  honest  convictions,  affability,  originality, 
refinement,  self  respect,  capacity  for  work,  Yale  sand  ;  "  genius, 
perseverance,  and  attention  to  the  feelings  of  others  ;"  "  Christian

''honesty  and  power." 

In  woman:  " beauty  without  affectation,  purity  and  intellect; 
like  best  a  blonde,  medium  height  and  rather  slight,  graceful  and 
stylish,  with  large  blue  eyes  which  can  speak  for  themselves,  and  a 
pretty  foot  and  pretty  walk  "  (Sewall) ;  "  rounded  figure,  rather 
slight,  good  walk,  face  needn't  be  very  handsome  but  must  have 
the  charm  of  lovableness,  also  that  entreating  look  which  some 
girls  possess  naturally  ;  I  don't  mean  any  affectation  "  (Shipman)  ; 
loyalty,  devotion  and  amiability  ;

noble  and  true  dignity  ;  wit,  constancy  ;  good  conversational  pow- 
ers ;  a  reasonable  amount  of  intellectuality  ;  gentleness,  sympathy, 
strength  of  intellect  and  body  ;  "  the  strong  and  graceful,  out-of- 
door  kind,  which  must  be,  however,  entirely  free  from  anything 
coarse  or  masculine"  (Pierson).  For  style,  29  admire  brunettes 
and  11  blondes;  other  specifications  are,  "divine  form,  any  ordi- 
nary sort  of  face  will  do;"  "'Mater  Dolerosa '  in  features,  in 
everything  but  sadness." 


SOCIETY  AND  MATRIMONY. 

Sixty  of  the  class  have  been  in  New  Haven  society  to  some 
extent.  One  man  indulged  "  once  and  a  half  ;  the  half  was  when  I 
went  in  for  a  good  time  and  came  out  before  I  finished."  Twenty- 
five  pronounce  it  good,  and  the  usual  number,  "swipes."  But  this 
opinion  given  in  one  answer  :  "  I  think  it  is  most  maligned  by 
those  who  know  least  about  it ;  and  that  we  owe  it  more  than  it  owes 
us,"  was  so  well  borne  out  by  a  careful  inspection  of  the  answers 
to  the  two  questions,  "  To  what  extent  have  you  been  in  it,"  and 
"  What  do  you  think  of  it,"  that  only  the  opinions  of  those  who 
have  entered  it  largely  are  given  at  length.  "  If  a  fellow  has  time 
to  go  into  it,  he  will  find  as  pleasant  people  as  anywhere  ;  perhaps 
the  society  is  a  little  close,  but  that  follows  from  New  Haven  being 


Class  Book.  75 

one-horse  and  Yale  College  being  the  horse"  (Schwab).  "Gene- 
rally hospitable  to  students,  and  rather  slandered  in  return  "  (Mc- 
Elroy).  "  Very  pleasant,  but  necessarily  superficial ;  very  few  men 
become  well  acquainted  with  the  young  ladies  ;  surprisingly  few 
young  ladies  in  a  city  of  the  size  of  New  Haven  ;  remarkable  scar- 
city of  men,  in  fact  hardly  any  besides  the  college  men  "  (Knapp). 
"  New  Haven  girls  are  somewhat  spoiled  by  the  disproportionately 
large  number  of  fellows  "  (Goodrich).  "  New  Haven  society  has 
dealt  kindly  by  me "  (Stewart).  "  Has  some  individually  most 
charming  girls,  but  the  social  atmosphere  is  not  conducive  to  trust 
and  friendship  ;  it  is  therefore  unsatisfactory  "  (S.  Phelps).  "  In 
the  first  place,  it  is  too  cliquey  ;  but  still  I  suppose  we  have  to  have 
it  so.  On  the  whole,  I  advise  a  man  if  he  can,  to  go  out  in  New 
Haven  Society  ;  it  will  do  him  no  harm,  certainly "  (D.  Moore). 
"  Refined  and  high-toned  in  true  sense  ;  stiff  to  new  comers,  but 
really  cordial  when  once  an  entrance  is  gained"  (Shipman). 
"  Think  it  above  the  average  of  provincial  towns  ;  it  has  an  abun- 
dance of  public  spirit  and  a  deal  of  genuine  culture  "  (Nichols). 
"  I  think  it  extremely  pleasant,  in  spite  of  the  necessary  disadvan- 
tages under  which  it  labors"  (Brown).  "  My  opinion  of  New 
Haven  society  is  unique.  The  girls  are  daisies,  most  of  them  ;  but 
don't  you  trust  'em  with  a  wooden  toothpick"  (E.  Phelps). 

For  a  class  that  has  been  so  popular  in  society  as  '86  has,  the  mat- 
rimonial prospects  as  recorded  by  the  statistician  are  rather  dark  ; 
though  one  tries  to  put  a  bright  light  on  it :  "  My  matrimonial  pros- 
pects are  very  dark  at  the  present  outlook  ;  but  still  I  am  not  going 
to  worry,  as  I  am  not  yet  an  old  bachelor.  On  the  whole,  you  may 
put  me  down  as  one  that's  sure  to  go"  (D.  Moore).  The  majority 
are  waiting  to  find  the  right  girl,  —  rich,  loving,  congenial,  "  an 
angel  with  144  lbs.  of  flesh,"  are  some  of  the  specifications  that 
bidders  should  notice.  Sherman  was  married  in  '59,  after  a 
year's  engagement.  One  was  engaged  Dec.  25,  1883  ;  whose  was 
the  Christmas  present,  or  was  it  only  a  philopena  ?  Another  chose 
Jan.  1,  1886,  to  'pop  the  question.'  Two  were  engaged  in  1884, 
one  of  whom  expects  to  be  married  within  a  year  ;  the  other 
is  "  not  a  candidate  for  the  class  cup."  A  prospective  "  loving 
husband"  made  the  preliminary  contracts  last  summer.  Another 
who  should  answer  "  yes,"  draws  a  very  black  line  through  the 
question.  Besides  these  seven,  two  are  in  doubt  ;  one  who  answers, 
"  I  say  not,  she  says  I  am  ;  it  will  be  necessary  to  await  develop- 
ments ;"  and  another,  who  says  :   "  Don't  know  ;  depends  upon  her 


76  Yale  '86 

father's  strength  and  the  courage  of  his  pup  ;  I  forget  the  date, 
sometime  last  year  ;  never  shall  marry  if  I  can  help  it."  We  are 
satisfied  to  take  their  word  for  it,  and  promise  them  our  sympathy, 
if  the  matter  comes  to  a  lawsuit  for  breach  of  promise.  Another  is 
not  engaged  yet,  but  considers  his  prospects  "  healthy,"  and  intends 
to  marry  within  three  years.  Another  wants  to  wait  five  years  be- 
fore he  allows  any  girl  to  "  cotton  "  to  him  for  (i  keeps."  A  dozen 
others  will  wait  five  to  ten  years,  until  they  have  an  income  of 
$2,000  yearly,  or  are  able  to  support  a  wife  "according  to  her  sta- 
tion in  life."  There  is  a  trio,  one  of  whom  mourns,  "  I  feel  that  I 
am  destined  and  fitted  to  be  a  bachelor  to  the  end  of  my  days." 
This  same  man  had  a  fair  brunette  at  the  '86  promenade,  whom  the 
gossips  say  has  been  captured  by  another.  One  has  "always  been 
successful  in  love  ;"  a  second  is  threatened  with  the  necessity  of 
emigrating  to  Salt  Lake  City,  that  he  may  not  be  obliged  to  disap- 
point his  numerous  fair  admirers.  But  the  climax  is  the  case  of 
the  man  who  on  a  certain  St.  Valentine's  day  received  a  long  letter 
from  a  frequent  correspondent,  commenting  on  the  charms  of 
married  life,  and  accepting  in  all  apparent  seriousness  an  offer  of 
marriage  which  he  had  never  made  ! 


RETROSPECTIVE. 

On  the  campus,  152  rooms  have  been  occupied  by  members  of 
'86  for  some  period  of  their  course.  They  are  divided  among  the 
eight  dormitories  as  follows  :  in  South,  11  ;  in  South  Middle,  21  ; 
Lyceum,  5  ;  North  Middle,  22  ;  Old  Chapel,  9  ;  North,  27  ;  Farnam, 
34  ;  Durfee,  24.  Twenty-nine  have  roomed  on  the  campus  four 
years  ;  50  for  three  years  ;  30  for  two  years  ;  8  one  year  ;  and  3 
never.  Twenty-one  have  roomed  in  West  Divinity  for  a  year  or 
more.  The  preference  of  46  is  for  a  room  in  Durfee  ;  of  18,  for  a 
Farnam  room  ;  of  tj,  for  South  ;  of  7,  for  North,  though  Lawrance 
now  cuts  off  the  view  from  the  front  of  North,  and  makes  the 
rooms  in  it  less  desirable  ;  2  prefer  a  South  Middle  room,  and  10  a 
room  in  Lawrance. 

The  "happy  families"  deserve  to  be  recorded  for  recollection's 
sake.  In  the  list  which  follows,  the  number  indicates  the  room 
occupied  during  Senior  year,  and  the  names  in  parentheses  have 
dissolved  partnership.

Three,  Catherwood,  Nichols  and  S.  Phelps,  have  kept  horses  in 
New  Haven,  and  two  or  three  more  have  rented  horses  to  a  large 
extent.  But  horses,  guns  and  dogs  are  "vacation  luxuries  "  to  the 
majority.  Twenty-six  have  owned  or  do  own  dogs  ;  and  50  have 
guns,  of  whom  20  are  fair  to  good  shots. 

A  quarter  of  the  class  have  preserved  general  memorabil.,  con- 
sisting of  theatre  checks  and  programs,  champagne  corks,  cat- 
alogues, examination  questions,  certain  papers  signed  "  Yours 
truly,  H.  P.  Wright,"  "  the  axe  used  to  batter  down  Prof.  Tarbell's 
door  in  June,  '85,"  "  general  collection  of  '85  shirts,  advertising 
dodgers,  faculty  notices,  term-bills,  isometric  projections,  and 
prayer-meeting  cards,"  "  the  iron  flag  hung  up  by  'S6  in  Freshman 
year,"  and  Cowles  preserves  "a  remembrance  of  Tiggee's  grunt." 

For  most  pleasant  amusement,  some  common  and  a  few  unique 
answers  were  these  :  yachting,  dancing,  tennis,  in  society  or  in 
ladies'  company,  listening  to  music  or  playing,  reading,  theatre- 
going,  card  playing  ;  "  delving  in  the  library  "  (Beardsley);  "  saying 
pants  to  George"  (Lewis);  "having  nothing  to  do  with  females  ;" 
"to  wander  among -mountain  woods,  listening  to  the  music  of  the 
winds,  alone  with  one's  self  and  nature;"  "an  evening,  winter 
storm  outside  ;  inside,  myself,  sweet  meerschaum,  a  good  book, 
hard  cider,  a  roaring  wood  fire"  (Washington);  "a  quiet  time 
with  a  good  companion  ;"  "athletic  sports;"  a  glass  of  beer  and 
a  song  at  Gus's  ;  watching  handsome  women  in  Broadway  and 
Fifth  avenue  ;  taking  photographs;  reading  Pi'incetonian  ;  getting 
grinds  off  on  our  E.  C.'s  ;  making  rushes  to  Prof.  Richards  ;  riding 
in  a  carriage  with  a  good  horse  ;  and  the  usual  girl-hammock- 
moonlight-rowing  combination. 

Washington  boasts  of  his  abilities  as  a  scientific  lecturer  and  an 
arguer  on  the  origin  of  the  human  species,  etc.  Robbins  is  an 
expert  at  blowing  eggs,  and  his  latest  achievement  in  the  interest 
of  natural  science  is  raising  a  litter  of  flying  squirrels  on  the  bottle. 
D.  Moore  is  quite  competent  to  play  the  "  bullophone."  A.  Fellows, 
Washington  and  H.  Ames  have  each  saved  a  fellow  mortal  from  a 
watery  grave.  Ames  pulled  D.  Moore  out  of  Lake  Whitney,  into 
which  he  had  fallen  from  a  boat  ;  whence  the  name  to  the  one  of 
"  Hero,"  and  to  the  other  of  "  Apajune,  the  water-sprite."  Bidwell 
is  proud  of  having  sent  a  young  mucker  to  "  Ball's  "  room  to  get 
employment  at  reading  trot.  The  following  is  from  a  Hartford 
paper  in  an  account  of  a  local  bicycle  tournament  :  "  Mr.  Bidwell 


Class  Book.  7p 

was  present ;  he  got  out  of  Yale  College  '  to  attend  the  funeral  of 
his  grandmother.' " 

"Yale's  most  pressing  need  is  available  funds  with  which  to  ex- 
pand and  improve  the  various  parts  of  the  University,  into  which 
the  different  departments  of  the  college  are  now  fast  becoming 
blended.  To  particularize  :  Yale  needs  a  new  gymnasium  ;  a  larger 
library  building  ;  another  dormitory  ;  more  and  better  recitation- 
rooms  ;  more  professors,  and  larger  salaries  for  those  now  here  ; 
and  other  things  which  need  not  be  mentioned."  Seventy-seven 
reiterate  the  need  of  'wealth.' 

Other  "  most  pressing  needs"  are,  a  clear-sighted  business  pres- 
ident ;  concentration  of  scattered  energies  ;  a  large  Freshman 
class  ;  a  good  instructor  in  rhetoric  ;  musical  instruction  ;  more 
alumni  influence  on  the  corporation  ;  less  conservatism  ;  fewer 
ministers ;  harmony ;  advancement  in  methods  of  instruction  ; 
theodolite  ;  a  crematory  for  policemen  ;  more  ladies  in  the  Art 
School  ;  most  '  pressing '  need,  coeducation. 

Thirty-two  consider  English  literature,  including  rhetoric,  ora- 
tory and  composition,  to  be  the  weakest  branch  in  the  Academical 
department  ;  modern  languages  is  considered  weakest  by  18  ;  nat- 
ural and  physical  science,  13  ;  mental  and  moral  philosophy,  4  ; 
the  classics  under  the  tutor  system,  4  ;  physical  culture,  2  ;  math- 
ematics, political  economy  (?)  and  German,  1  each.  The  Medical 
College  is  considered  the  weakest  department  by  24.- 

Though  the  vote  of  the  class  for  president  was  taken  before  the 
selection  of  Professor  Dwight  by  the  corporation,  its  announce- 
ment at  this  late  date  comes  as  a  harmless  afterclap  ;  nevertheless, 
the  vote  is  interesting  as  showing  the  opinion  of  undergraduates 
on  that  important  question.  Several  will  vote  for  anybody  but  a 
Congregational  minister.  Stewart  says,  "  any  successor  who  has 
energy  and  is  a  beggar."  The  vote  is  as  follows  :  Professor  Tim- 
othy Dwight,  40  ;  General  Francis  A.  Walker,  22  ;  President  Daniel 
C.  Gilman,  17  ;  Prof.  W.  G.  Sumner,  6  ;  Prof.  E.  S.  Dana,  6  ; 
President  Cyrus  Northrop,  4  ;  Prof.  E.  J.  Phelps,  4  ;  Ex-President 
Andrew  C.  White,  1  ;  Prof.  H.  P.  Wright,  1  ;  Professor  A.  T.  Had- 
ley,  1  ;  Rev.  Phillips  Brooks,  1. 

The  present  "  crowded,"  "helter-skelter"  appearance  of  the 
campus  affords  opportunity  for  no  end  of  criticism.  The  most 
important  is  that  Dwight  Hall  should  not  have  been  located  on 
the  campus,  and  least  of  all  where  it  is  ;  but  being  built  it  will 
always  be  an  ornament.     The  most  pertinent  criticism  is  that  the 


8o  Yale  '86 

buildings  have  been  put  up  in  accordance  with  no  particular  plan, 
and  some  will  have  to  be  destroyed  before  order  can  be  produced. 
The  idea  of  a  second  quadrangle  given  contemporaneous  promi- 
nence by  a  careful  article  in  the  Lit.  of  April,  1885,  written  by 
Beardsley,  is  well  received  by  the  class.  Toward  the  gradual  ac- 
complishment of  this  plan,  it  is  recommended  that  the  old  wooden 
buildings  between  the  Art  School  and  the  Library  be  taken  down 
immediately ;  "some  of  the  brick  row  should  always  remain  if  only 
for  association's  sake  ;"  and  the  other  interior  buildings  should  be 
demolished.  But  "the  quadrangle  must  not  spoil  the  old  fence 
corner  ;"  nor  should  it  interfere  "with  the  elms,  the  glory  of  New 
Haven."  "  Open  fire-places  "  would  be  popular,  and  a  quadrangle 
with  iron  gates  to  keep  out  "  micks,  muckers  and  cops."  Another? 
says,  "there  is  nothing  to  remark,  except  the  poverty-stricken 
appearance  of  things." 


HEALTH. 

Glasses  have  been  worn  by  28  at  times,  and  by  18  constantly. 
Nearsightedness  is  the  cause  in  12  cases,  astigmatism  in  4  and  far- 
sightedness and  gunning  accident  in  1  case  each.  Four  cases  are 
hereditary.  Twenty  others  have  suffered  from  weak  eyes  caused 
by  over-study,  night  reading,  etc.  In  the  spring  of  Junior  year, 
pink-eye  set  in,  and  no  less  than  20  had  it.  Churchill  suffered 
from  it  three  times,  and  A.  Colgate  five  ;  cause  chiefly,  spring 
weather  and  much  wind  and  dust,  combined  with  study. 

Seventy  have  been  absent  from  recitations  on  account  of  illness. 
Bidwell,  E.  Brandegee,  Capron,  Darling,  Edgar,  Goodrich,  and  E. 
L.  Smith  had  typhoid  fever,  and  N.  I.  Adams  and  Brown  were 
threatened  with  it.  P.  Ames,  Anthony,  Bremner,  Crapo  and  Lee 
have  had  malaria  ;  W.  A.  Adams,  typhoid  malaria  ;  W.  Kingsley, 
pneumonia.  During  Junior  year,  Goodyear,  and  during  Senior 
year,  S.  Phelps  and  Waterman,  lost  much  time  from  frequent  ill- 
ness. Four  have  been  laid  up  with  sprained  ankles,  A.  Colgate 
three  times  ;  and  three  have  had  the  mumps.  Ailing  and  Nichols 
each  lost  two  years  on  account  of  illness,  and  S.  Colgate,  Crehore 
and  Knight  each  lost  a  year.  Sprague  says,  "  If  you  mean  genuine 
sickness,  no;  have  had  about  50  paper  illnesses."  And  Ryce, 
"  '  Always   succumbs  to  the  prevailing  epidemic,'   '  Baldy '   says." 


Class  Book.  8r 

The  most  sickness  in  the  class  occurred  in  Junior  and  Sophomore 
years,  and  the  least  in  Freshman  year.  The  periods  of  absence 
ranged  from  a  few  days  to  four  months.  Eighteen  have  lost  three 
weeks  or  more  by  illness,  and  five  of  them  have  been  absent  that 
length  of  time  on  two  or  three  occasions. 

The  hour  for  retiring  varies  with  different  men  from  9  o'clock 
to  2,  and  even  later.  Within  these  limits  there  is  "a  large  stock  of 
assorted  hours  on  hand,  any  of  which  can  be  purchased  at  a  low 
rate."  Fourteen  make  a  practice  of  retiring  at  10  p.  m.;  19  at  10:30; 
45  at  11:00  ;  13  at  11:30  ;  10  at  12  o'clock.  Two  sit  up  till  1,  and  3 
till  2.  Sprague's  hour  of  retiring  varies  with  the  number  of  his 
marks.  Strauss  retires  between  11  p.  m.  and  3  a.  m.,  except  when 
he  "sits  up  and  waits  for  chapel." 

Thirty-five  practice  rising  at  7  o'clock  ;  11  at  7:15  ;  36  at  7:30  ; 
13  at  7:45  ;  and  half  a  dozen  later  still.  Twelve  rise  regularly  be- 
fore 7.  Hunt  retires  at  9  and  rises  at  5:30  ;  Grant,  at  10  and  at  6  ; 
Painter,  at  10:30  and  at  6  ;  Beers,  A.  Phelps  and  Richardson,  at 
10:30  and  at  6:30. 

Thirty-five  have  worked  regularly  in  the  gym.  during  their 
course,  and  48  have  worked  steadily  for  short  periods  in  addition 
to  the  club-swinging  practice  which  all  had  to  take  in  Freshman 
year.  Sixty-two  have  relied  on  walking,  and  24  on  tennis,  in  its 
season,  for  exercise.  Six  take  their  "constitutional"  on  a  bicy- 
cle, 5  riding  and  driving.  Two  fence  for  exercise  and  two  take 
"  domestic "  exercise  with  apparatus  in  their  own  rooms.  A. 
Phelps  has  the  class  record  for  long  distance  walker,  having 
walked  36  miles  at  one  time,  and  40  at  another,  at  the  average  rate 
of  4^2  miles  per  hour. 


FINANCE. 

A  careful  estimate  of  the  expenses  of  the  course  on  the  basis  of 
104  answers,  shows  the  following  facts : 

Average  per  year  per  man,         .....  $960.65

of  it  for  costly  and  valuable  works  of  art.  Forty-three  have 
employed  a  private  sweep  to  care  for  their  rooms.  The  object 
originally  was  to  keep  the  room  in  better  order  than  the  regular 
sweeps  would  and  to  black  boots  ;  but  as  the  result  of  experi- 
ence, other  reasons  are  assigned  ;  to  %t  cuss,"  "  to  help  get  rid  of 
my  tobacco  and  to  furnish  intellectual  treat,"  "  to  wake  me,"  and 
"to  read  the  Scriptures  to  me  before  I  get  up." 

The  price  paid  for  board  has  ranged  from  $21.00,  paid  by  3  for 
a  few  weeks,  down  to  $2.50,  which  2  have  paid.  Six  have  paid 
from  $2.50  to  $3.00  ;  45  have  paid  $3.00  to  $4.00  ;  20  have  not  paid 
less  than  $5.00,  and  14  not  less  than  $5.50  ;  5  have  not  paid  lower 
than  $6.50,  and  3  never  lower  than  $7.00.  Three  have  never  paid 
more  than  $3.50  ;  n  never  more  than  $4.00  ;  and  2  never  more  than 
$4.50  ;  8  have  not  paid  more  than  $5.00  ;  16,  not  more  than  $5.50  ; 
18,  than  $6.00.     Forty  have  paid  $7.00,  and  10  have  paid  $8.00. 

Twenty-three  have  earned  money  for  their  own  support  during 
their  college  course,  tutoring,  teaching,  waiting  on  table,  managing 
clubs,  and  otherwise  ;  not  to  mention  Glee  Club  men  and  editors 
who  expect  dividends.  Dutcher's  tutoring  has  been  worth  $1,000 
for  the  four  years,  and  Woollen  by  a  variety  of  means  has  earned 
$1,400.  A  number  of  others  have  earned  above  $500,  though  the 
amount  cannot  easily  be  stated  in  figures. 

Before  entering,  nine  worked  to  earn  money  to  support  them- 
selves while  in  college.  Clarke  taught  school  nine  terms.  The 
others  have  taught,  been  clerks,  farmers  and  printers.  Bates  went 
through  the  "  bone-picking,  junk  collecting  period,"  and  A.  Colgate 
"  raised  chickens." 

Fifty  of  the  class  have  been  on  the  war-path  with  a  subscription 
book,  and  with  a  few  exceptions  have  succeeded  fairly  well.  Class 
organ,  praise  service,  orphan  asylum,  class  base  ball,  foot  ball  and 
crew,  university  base  ball,  foot  ball  and  crew,  the  Yale  Field,  the 
promenades  and  the  papers,  have  been  the  objects,  the  needs  of 
which  were  fluently,  persistently,  overbearingly  sometimes  it  is 
said,  presented.  "  I  was  the  worst  subscription  man  in  college  ; 
hadn't  it  in  me  to  bulldoze  anybody,"  says  Lewis.  At  the  other  ex- 
treme, Woollen  has  canvassed  the  college,  "  I  venture  to  say,  more 
than  any  man  in  the  class;"  although  P.  K.  Ames,  as  treasurer 
and  president  of  the  Navy  has  collected  $4,000  from  the  college. 
Peet  canvassed  for  the  Yale  Field  until  it  was  set  upon  a  firm 
basis.  "  I  believe  canvassing  the  best  way  to  reach  the  students  "  (!) 
f  Have  been  called  a  swindler  and  a  thief  "  (Arkell).     "  I  obtained

little  cash,  and  a  true  sense  of  the  hollowness  of  college  friend- 
ships when  brought  to  the  scratch  ;  recommend  it  to  government  as 
a  substitute  for  ten  years  at  hard  labor  in  penitentiaries  "  (Good- 
rich). "  I  find  that  there  is  a  certain  set  of  men  who  support  the 
class  in  subscriptions  ;  outside  of  this  set  it  is  almost  impossible 
to  get  money,  by  fair  means  or  foul.  The  subscription  business 
is  the  meanest,  most  thankless  task  a  man  ever  took  up "  (D. 
Winston).  "  I  met  one  Freshman  who  refused  to  subscribe,  on 
principle,  unless  I  would  let  him  pay  at  once.  These  cases  are 
very  rare  "  (Griggs).  "  Have  been  mistaken  for  the  president  of 
the  Navy.  Stuck  a  Freshman's  mother  for  a  subscription,  as  she 
staid  in  the  room  to  protect  her  darling  from  possible  Sophomoric 
visits  '.'  (Bidwell).  "  If  there  is  any  one  thing  more  damnable  than 
another,  it  is  to  be  sure  that  a  man  is  in  his  room  and  have  him 
refuse  to  answer  your  knock.     Selah  !"  (Cowles). 


POLITICS. 

Fifty-seven  indulged  in  the  enthusiasm  of  the  presidential  cam- 
paign of  1884  by  parading  for  Blaine  and  Logan  under  the  banner 
of  the  Woolsey  battalion,  and  26  paraded  in  the  Cleveland  battalion 
nearly  every  time,  including  the  parade  on  Saturday  evening,  Nov. 
6.  Eight  sacrificed  principle  to  fun,  and  bravely  tramped  through 
dust  and  mud  up  to  the  refreshment  halls  in  New  Britain  and 
Bridgeport  for  the  honor  of  both  parties.  Sixteen  voted  for 
Blaine  :  Ailing,  Bacon,  Beadle,  Beers,  Clarke,  Codding,  A.  Col- 
gate, Dutcher,  Gallup,  Hyde,  D.  Lambert,  Nichols,  Peet,  A. 
Phelps,  Scott  and  Stiles.  Six  voted  for  Cleveland  :  Bristol,  Dar- 
ling, Dougherty,  E.  Lambert,  F.  W.  Moore  and  Odell.  Sherman 
voted  for  Fremont  in  '56,  Beers,  Clarke  and  Knight  for  Garfield 
in  '80,  and  Knight  for  St.  John  in  '84.  Ailing,  Cornwell,  Griffith 
and  G.  C.  Smith  have  been  made  electors  since  '84,  and  have  voted 
at  local  elections. 

Politically,  the  class  is  thus  divided  :

ACID  PHOSPHATE. 

FOR   DYSPEPSIA,  MENTAL  AND  PHYSICAL  EXHAUSTION,  NER- 
VOUSNESS, DIMINISHED  VITALITY,  ETC. 

Prepared  according  to  the  directions  of  Prof.  E.  N.  Horsford,  of  Cambridge. 

A  preparation  of  the  phosphates  of  lime,  magnesia,  potash  and  iron  with 
phosphoric  acid  in  such  form  as  to  be  readily  assimilated  by  the  system. 
Universally  recommended  and  prescribed  by  physicians  of  all  schools. 
Its  action  will  harmonize  with  such  stimulants  as  are  necessary  to  take. 
It  is  the  best  tonic  known,  furnishing  sustenance  to  both  brain  and  body. 
It  makes  a  delicious  drink  with  water  and  sugar  only. 


As  a  Brain  and  Nerve  Tonic. 

Dr.  E.  W.  Robertson,  Cleveland,  O.,  says:  "From  my  experience,  can 
cordially  recommend  it  as  a  brain  and  nerve  tonic,  especially  in  nervous  de- 
bility, nervous  dyspepsia,  etc.,  etc.

celebrated  DIETETIC  PREPARATION  is  presented  with/ 
the   assurance  that   it  is  the   SAFEST,    most   NICELY 
PREPARED  and  reliable  MEDICINAL  FOOD  that  scientific  research 
can  yield.     It  has  acquired   the    reputation  of  being   an    aliment 
the  stomach  seldom,  if  ever,  rejects,  CONDITION  NOT  EXCEPTED ; 
and  while  it  would  be  difficult  to  conceive  of  anything1  in  food  more 
Delicious,  or  more  SOOTHING  AND  NOURISHING  as  an  aliment 
for  Invalids,   and  for    the   growth   and    protection  of   Children,   its 
rare     MEDICINAL     EXCELLENCE    in    Inanition,    due    to    mal- 
assimilation,    Chronic,   Gastric,    and     INTESTINAL     DISEASES, 
ESPECIALLY      IN     CHOLERA,      DYSENTERY,       CHRONIC 
DIARRHCEA,     and    CHOLERA    INFANTUM,)     HAS    BEEN 
INCONTESTABLY   PROVEN  :— often  in  instances  of  con- 
sultation  over   patients   whose    digestive   oi'gans   were 
reduced   to    such   a    low    and    sensitive    condition 
that  the  Imperial  Granum  was  the  only  thinj 
the   stomach  would  tolerate,   when  life 
seemed    depending    on    its 
retention.
